LIFES TIME

Author: Redex

The past,
the future,
the here and now.

We travel from one
to another in
a blink of an eye.

Maybe through sorrows,
past lovers,
or even horrors.

We glance at the future
with longing
in the eyes.

We can rest assured
the future awaits
to start up anew.

Always looking to the future is basically wishing your life away. The future brings you closer to the end of your life here on earth. I try to be thankful for the here and now.

However, there is something about a fresh new day - new slate.

Mist of Time

The mists of life flows deep as
The mists of time grow weak.
Back to the past I must travel
And seek a time I can unravel.
As the mist moves by without a trace.

Lady of the Lake let me see your face.
It’s been so long since I felt this cold
As this heart of mine grows ever old.
Oh mists of time, where are you now,
Let me feel you in my heart again, but how?

godsprincess, it only meant when things are soooo bad the future awaits, sometimes to know that helps one through bad times.

some people do long for that final future

Ummka thank you and for the flower, the poet corner is sad at the loss of caffe, but yes he would want us to move on and bring the corner alive and fun again.

UmmkaKokshetau, KazakhstanOct 5, 2017

It seems to me it is a joke, about cafe. If he has left why his page not the block. I don't know why, but to me it was very sore, even now at me tears flow, but I think it a mean joke. His relatives I had to will take care of it to close his page.

Inspirational Redex...

RedexOPNorthumberland, England UKOct 5, 2017

Ummka i know excately what you mean, yes everyone is very sad about cafe, and even though we all live in different time lines, enough surely is enough to let the mans soul now rest in peace

RedexOPNorthumberland, England UKOct 5, 2017

lovecanbereal thanks for comment, written awhile ago and poetry seems to have flown from my pen-----those were the days.

One day it just might come back but in the mean time i visit here and read

Hi Red

Hi - I have to say this. Cafe's death is NOT a joke. The man had been sick since December 2016 and in and out of the hospital. The particulars of his illness and death is not necessary to put here. But a few of his friends here have been keeping track with him by e-mails and phone calls.

By removing his profile - it would take away his identity in this corner and possibly his poems. His poems need to continue to be shared.

His family is continuing to grieve and his friends too. Everyone grieves differently and for different lengths of time.

Kathy we all have different views, for me, after everyone has shown their respect, then to let cafes soul RIP

is mine
