Looking Forward to Change

Neville

Looking Forward to Change

 

I never once thought

for a moment

I would ever be forced

to admit that

both life and love are

such fragile,

and transient things ..

Like flakes

in a snow globe, spilt,

scattered

and broken ..

Yet I hope now more

than ever ..

She is proper grown

and no longer

the same spoilt child

that she was

all those years ago ..

When we met

for that very first time ..

      A child eventually grows into self-knowing and often surprises onlookers meanwhile - - time itself is so fragile and transient my friend - --
      such a wise penning on coping with change..............x

        You've had a troubled love life, haven't you, Nev? I hope that, apart from providing plentiful poetic material, it hasn't damaged you irretrievably. 🙂

          Could I meet her?! lol.
          I was 'looking forward' or was it 'backward' in that the shopping precinct clock went back an hour LAST week. Hope they don't change it again. Some dunce changed it a week early. Doh!

            maybe .............. but the time needs to be just write Mr. O 🙂

            In our youth, time is here and now. It becomes a commodity to consume, and then move on. But time will also allow growth and reflection. And the selfishness of youth can be replaced by a greater depth of understanding. There is always hope that it may be so. Excellent analogy of flakes in a snow globe. A very thoughtful write dear friend.

              You are a wise woman indeed Bella & I am so glad we stand in the same corner .. Neville
