everything has its time

everything has its time

an expiration date after which it is no longer viable

i mean night is eaten by the dawn

and it is gone..vanished

waves disappear into the sand

never to be seen again

yet in my catacombs of thought

you are there

and, damn it, seeing you just one more time

still tops the wish list of my dreams

it’s as if space and time have betrayed me

or was it you?

the past hugs while the future taunts

everything has its time

perhaps “someday” is your time

Reviews

[MelissaAndres]

We always think we have time ... to call next week, to go out to lunch, to give or get that special hug. We may not always have that precious time. Time is fleeting and gone in an instant. You have done a very good job at portraying that sentiment!

[Lydia Shutter]

Indeed, we are not promised anything. We have to enjoy every second. Thank you, Melissa. lydi**

[MelissaAndres]

You are very welcome!

[Jimmy Yetts]

Something about that relationship remains unfulfilled--unfinished.
Until the unresolved issue is settled--with him or through another--"someday" may never arrive.
A profoundly perceptive and deeply thoughtful piece, Lydi.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks, Jimmy. I always appreciate your reviews. Lydi**

[Dhaye]

Yes, everything has its time
Yesterday might be yours
and today might be theirs
and mine?
It might be tomorrow
or the next day
But time still moves
in a cycle
Our future life
will always be a puzzle...

I love this amazing piece, Lydi.

[Lydia Shutter]

[B. Boileau]

You have truely translated the mundane into the magical.
It begs to make ownership of a time machine on your wishlist.
Thanks !

This goes right to the core of betrayal and its lingering aftereffects. Well done as always.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Paloma. Lydi**

[Linda alexander]

So genuine, many ,may relate, a naked truth is beautifully portrayed in this poem about our ever living memories

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you very much, Linda. Lydi**

[Sanober]

so many truths of life wrapped up so neatly in this write! it is something strange and sad when you ponder over it. everything fades away, eventually. especially with time, it is always a betrayer. "the past hugs while the future taunts
everything has its time". I just couldn't agree more, my friend. Your poem speaks me to like an old friend today.

[Lydia Shutter]

my words may be old friends, but that is only because you and I have been friends for so long. May it always be so. Thank you, Sanober. Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lydi, there is a time to dream... and
a time for dreams to come true... a time to
plant flowers... and a time to gather up flowers
Into a bouquet of possibilities. Your poem is hauntingly
reminiscent of sweet soft rain. truly, Pat

[Lydia Shutter]

My dear Pat....thank you so much for stopping by. I always appreciate your flowery reviews. I hope all is well with you and Roger. Lydi**
