They wont move while you watch
my mind wills the hands around your face
tick tick I can’t wait
open the glass face and let me in
move now move quick
my life is in your perfect sphere
midnight… one… two… three…
dawn rises beautifully clear
as you pull me close to thee
forever
Sayling Away
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
Gud skaper noko nytt ved sitt Ord og sin Ande, vi kan ta imot det i tru og få oppleve at han gjer sitt verk med oss. Hans skaparkraft verkar konstuktivt i våre liv og skaper noko som er verdifullt for oss. Naturkreftene verkar nedebrytande, i fylgje entropilova, men Gud er Ånd og det som er født av hans Ande består. Jesu frelsesverk er fullbrakt og fullkome. Han er den siste Adam, som er ifrå himmelen og som for oss har vorte ei livgjevande ånd. Han gjev oss den Heilage Ande frå himmelen av berre nåde. Han gjev oss det evige livet.

Thanks for following a cowgirl on her crazy life journey.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. - Edgar Allan Poe

“my mind wills the hands around your face” – perfection, Leslie. So many times I’ve tried to control time.
Loved this poem of time and its inescapable rigidity.

You capture something we have all tried to will time to move at our command….very nicely done.

Oh, that gravitational ‘pull’: ‘As I’m pulled closer to thee…forever!’
“TIME” is one of my favorite topics on which to bloviate–as if I really knew of what I’d be writing–grin!
Nice to visit you, Leslie, and to note again that your blog is in capable, talented hands…YOU!
PEACE!

I like your poem. I’ve written many poems and short stories with ‘Time’ as a central theme. After all – “The ticking of a clock is the sound of a hammer striking a coffin nail”
Feel free to have a look at my writing site. I’d love some feedback.
Merry Christmas.

I like this evocation of our relationship with time, the attempt to will, the Impatience, the passage to dawn, the pull to forever…..good write.
