    Good evening and welcome everyone! We hope this unusual image stirs your muse to write something to be truly proud of

    My apologies for the poor centering etc. Every computer user’s nightmare! I dropped an entire cup of coffee on my laptop this morning – I mean freakishly ALL over it! and now it is dead. My other older one has inconveniently developed a black screen, so I am using a cheap 10 inch which I cannbot figure out how to adjust and which refuses to show the scrolling bars so I could center etc. properly. I’ll be in the market for a new laptop tomorrow!

    RUNNING OUTTA TIME

    Time aint
    On my side
    Fishin for time
    It does so fast
    The more the clock
    Ticks the less
    Time be
    Tick tock
    Goes the clock
    No body knows
    Not even me
    Yet it tick
    Time for you
    No time for me
    Lord lord
    Please stop the time
    Winkles do follow me
    Grey I do see
    White aint
    Far behind
    Use to look so young
    Now see me turn
    Faster than
    The wind
    Can ever blow
    Time in a bottle
    Wont save me
    If only I had time
    Just what would I do
    Time time
    Time on my side
    The song goes
    But still not enough
    Time slowly
    Walkin me down
    In a miniature
    Second
    They do fly
    Grow
    Growin ole
    Is the me
    Baby fat day
    Are long gone
    Age of enc en all but gone wit the wing
    Age of old gotta hold of me
    Even the angels
    Look so meet
    Satan lookin his best
    God we never seen
    And the me
    So runnin outta time
    Count down
    One two
    Three
    The end of the me

    TIMELESS BEAUTY

    As black crows pick upon the beach,
    the hourglass stays out of reach.
    Time, untouchable though free,
    will alter figure all can see.

    Then the youth taken for granted,
    understands that time was slanted.
    If only wisdom arrived early,
    preservation would work, surely.

    Superficial thoughtfulness
    which may bring not much more, but less.
    Preserve the youth which lies within!
    Your world will long retain its spin!

    Flashing In Front Of Me

    My life is flashing in front of me
    I look at all I did
    Wishing I could go back or be rid
    For pain took ahold making me feel old no longer a kid

    My body with nerves twinching making me witching
    Not knowing what the future holds as older wishing
    Unable to go back redo tears falling my hands shaking missing
    Missing all too young took so, much for granted rich then
    Knew ones were in my life for a reason to be with or be without

    When all at once hands drop tears I show
    One takes ahold of me slow
    I feel a warmth within flow
    All pain from past released my body felt an inner glow
    Knowing all has past for it was part of my journey making be whole
    Learning as love grows beauty in life for all to share know

    Gain Through Loss

    In the warm bell jar of youth
    a kinder hourglass held hopeful truth.
    Contrived world of contentment and surety
    nurturing family allowing in no insecurity

    School and career and leaving the fold,
    failed romance along the way
    Skeptical now love has lost its hold
    out in the world and out of control –
    Will there come a better day?

    Tears shed over lost innocence,
    lessons learned at one’s expense
    at last things better understood
    the ups and downs of personhood –
    Learn from them and make life good.

    This wonderful artwork today evoked more of a response from my heart
    than an actual interpretation of the painting . . . .

    WITH EACH NEW DAY

    My steps might
    not at first appear
    quite as nimble
    or quite as quick
    as they once used to be
    so very long ago
    and far away;
    and my eyes may not be
    quite as sharp
    as they once were
    when I was a child
    of four or three.
    But I know who I am
    and where and why;
    and growing older
    certainly doesn’t
    cause me to fret
    or make me cry.

    For there is still
    that child in me
    who sees summer rainbows
    as they arch across the sky;
    the child who dances
    among the flowers
    with the butterflies
    in the gardens of spring.
    That child resides
    within this heart still
    and loves this life
    and always will.

    I can still dream big dreams
    and smile a big smile
    and have fun
    while taking each day
    one step at a time.
    And as my steps take me
    through each new day,
    I can hear
    the words you say
    and read the pages
    of your heart
    as clearly now
    as I could
    yesterday.

    And each new day
    continues to find me
    exactly where I am,
    in the Present,
    in the Now
    and doing the best I can,
    living each moment as it is,
    while treasuring the memories
    of what’s forever in the past;
    with an eye toward the future
    and two feet on the ground
    and looking in the mirror
    at the one who
    over time has become
    my own best friend.

    For in my mind,
    age is a state of mind,
    simply a number,
    a speck of hourglass sand,
    and not the measure
    of who I am.

    TIME WIZARD

    While Dorothy’s clothes were in the wash,
    she saw in hourglass shaped like squash,
    the consequence of witch’s curse
    which witch said no one could reverse.

    Sand ran through pinched passageway,
    her final ending on its way.
    Head in her hands, she looked away,
    expecting this was her last day.

    Then in the bottom there appeared
    a vision which soon greatly cheered.
    Herself, immersed and barely free,
    swam among the weeds and kree,
    tickled and quite stimulated
    till she forgot what witch had fated.

    When the witch which cursed returned
    The hourglass broke, the water burned.
    The witch reshaped as though smelted.
    Dot became chastitiy belted.

    Came a cropper through the keyhole
    shapened on a forge by B-coal
    by an expert timepiece maker
    who longed to be her cherry taker.

    Thus our story’s happy ending
    keys up time by some mind bending.
    Imagination’s world set right
    by poet’s stanzas’ guiding light.

    Time slipping through her hands.
    She has so many worries .
    Sand seeps has her spirit swims.
    In this life she will try to win.
    Covered eyes out of ideals but still thinking hard has hell.
    In her mind she is sinking to the bottom.
    Tears form together making a puddle in her hand.
    Because she cant overcome the lost of love, money and luck.
    The heart tells the pain from in her head.
    A world misunderstood .
    Moments caught in waterfalls tides.
    And life she just knows to keep trying.
