Passing of Time





Lingering the day
Hidden behind closed doors
Locked out from the bitterness
Of a cruel, bent world
Round they say it is
Circling the encompassing warmth
Growth from within
It spurts new branches
Trees of life
Unorganically known
Spreading through the valleys
To the depths of the ocean
Shadows of the present
Succumb to adventures
Meaning is lost
Indifference rendered
Walk forth among the commonality
Safely tucked in knowledge
That this too shall pass
Creating new fondness
Ridges in the crease
With each door that opens
Another shall cease

  7. kay, I love the way your poem seamlessly
    flows - from reality to hope. the words
    you have weaved together emit a subtle effect
    difference in the way your reader will view
    the world and her part within.

  9. Wow Kay! Thanks for stopping by my blog and always I feel the need to see you...in your place...your spot. And, wow, I see...you. I don't get you poets, how you say so much with so little. I feel like I vomit on my posts, that they are too long and boredom will set before my point is made, but I know no other way. I will not be a poet...but I am coming 'round to them, and read a few of yours. I'll be back :)
