if only i had time...

...i would
write the poem
that begs some ink
letting it
slowly drip from
the pen's tip
without a pause
in fluid release
until exhaustion
replaced the clamour
of words.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...i would
take the slow train
to the places in my dreams
without an itinerary
ambling about
a destination i chose
when the whistle sounded
just right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...i would
sit in the midst
of those i love
& just be grateful
for one whole minute
without another thought.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...today i have the time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
one single impression

fading memories

i came by this way
only yesterday
i was but a girl
what stretched
out before
has come & gonelost in thought

i turned today

to catch a glimpse

of myself

in your lens

of fading memories

one single impression

a summer's day

not so far beyond

the bare-limbed chill on the wind

lies a summer's day

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

one single impression

resolve/resolution

with firm resolve
and clean slate of hopefulness
each day made new
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
have a blessed 2009!!
