MOON SHADOW

My favorite poem. I had to share it again.

 

 

MOON SHADOW

I live in the shadow of the moon.
I have grown and sprouted much too soon.
I will try with all my might
To live in the bright sunlight.

I close my eyes but yet I’m still here.
Sitting on a branch next to a pear.
My petals are white as snow
Because of this fact I know.

I will never be awake at day
No matter how hard I wish and pray.
For I live in the shadow of the moon 
And I’m slated to sing the nightly tune.

LIFE IS FOR LIVING

The young hold the secret.

The secret to living.

A hop.

A skip.

A jump.

Each day brings 

new experiences

and adventures.

Just hop, skip

and jump your way to 

living and enjoying

life to the fullest.

Vibrant sunshine and warm nights.

A FLEETING MEMORY

Those precious words,
"Mommy, pick me up."
Who hasn’t heard them?
The young voice.
The little squeak of pleasure.
The happy little face.
Remember it.
Enjoy it.
Savor it.
For soon it will only
be a fleeting memory.

LIFE IS FOR LIVING

The young hold the secret.
The secret to life and living.
A hop.
A skip.
A jump in the air.
Each day brings
new experiences
and adventures.
Just hop,
skip, and
jump your way to
living and enjoying
life to the fullest.

A FLEETING MEMORY

Those precious words,
"Mommy, pick me up."
Who hasn’t heard them?
The young voice.
The little squeak of pleasure
once you bend down.
The happy little face
gazing up at you.
Remember it.
Enjoy it.
Savor it.
For soon it will only
be a fleeting memory.

RAPUNZEL! RAPUNZEL!

Rapunzel! Rapunzel!
Let down your gorgeous hair.
I want to climb up your blonde strands.
Come to me my darling.
I will be yours.
And you will be mine.
Forever we will walk
hand in hand.
Never to be alone again.
Come closer.
I cannot see you.
Wait!
That’s not Rapunzel!
The face is old and wrinkled.
The hair is long and scraggly.
What happened to my sweet love?
Have I waited too long?

PERCEPTION

Do you feel like you have a separate person inside?
A different person than the one portrayed to the world?
Do you feel young with an older person peeking out?
Or are you an old person with a younger one inside?
I’ve always felt like the same little girl inside.
My body ages but inside I’m the same.
I have the same thoughts and feelings.
I might deal with them in a more mature manner
but maybe not.

TIME

TIME MARCHES ON

TIME MARCHES ON
BUT WE CAN NEVER KEEP UP.

PRECIOUS BABIES

They’re trying to
hold their own bottles.
Nothing can be as precious or as
innocent as the young.

TIME STOPS FOR NO ONE

Time continues on and on.
Without stopping or hesitating.
What if time stopped?
Would we still age?
Would everyone and everything
come to a stand still?
It’s nice to dream, isn’t it?

IF TIME STOOD STILL

What if time stood still?
We wouldn’t get older.
We would look the same forever.
Would we be bored with life after awhile?
Would be less in a hurry to get things accomplished?
There would be no reason to do things right away.
We would just put off what we could do today for tomorrow.
Then tomorrow, we would procrastinate for the next day.
Let the clock move ahead.
It would be awful to be stuck in time.

TIME MARCHES ON

TIME MARCHES ON

BUT WE CAN NEVER KEEP UP.

TIME STAND STILL

LET’S MAKE TIME STAND STILL FOR JUST A LITTLE  WHILE.

TIME PASSING

Time marches on.
It marches much too fast.
Time needs to slow down and so do we.
