Abiding Time

How do I abide the constraints of time

when all I want to do is fast forward

leaving  this darkness behind me

 

How do I abide the constraints of love

when all I want to do is sojourn

to you and touch your face

    1. I think time seems a bit suspended as we can't see many of those we miss.

    1. Winter will be here soon and we will slip into more darkness awaiting the light.

  5. So much we keep waiting for... but still we have to accept the present and do the best out of darkness.

  6. Sigh. I dont know which is more painful, fast forwarding or winding back..........I teeter in the Now, and try to keep my balance. Smiles.
