At Kat Myrman‘s suggestion,along with Jane Dougherty, I’m trying out the Lune form this month. The Lune is a three line poem, either 5/3/5 syllables or 3/5/3 words.
This could be the very minute
I’m aware I’m alive
All these places feel like home
With a name I’d never chosen
I can make my first steps
As a child of 25
This is the straw, final straw in the
Roof of my mouth as I lie to you
Just because I’m sorry doesn’t mean
I didn’t enjoy it at the time
You’re the only thing that I love
It scares me more every day
On my knees I think clearer
Goodness knows I saw it coming
Or at least I’ll claim I did
But in truth I’m lost for words
What have I done it’s too late for that
What have I become truth is nothing yet
A simple mistake starts the hardest time
I promise I’ll do anything you ask…this time
Well at the moment I feel that time is running away from me. I am getting older, my children all grown up, my grandchildren growing in number. I am scared at times there is more behind me than ahead. I am doing my best to live life to the full and do my best to not waste a moment.
My mother in law is 97yrs luckily for her she is pretty fit mentally and physically and determined to live forever! I have to admit time scares me.
Now to my choice of song. It is by Five for Fighting and is called One Hundred Years.
Who introduced me to Five for Fighting, none less than Helen Espinosa herself. Thank you Helen 💜💗
One Hundred Years
I’m 15 for a moment Caught in between 10 and 20 And I’m just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are
I’m 22 for a moment And she feels better than ever And we’re on fire Making our way back from Mars
15 there’s still time for you Time to buy and time to lose 15, there’s never a wish better than this When you only got a hundred years to live
I’m 33 for a moment Still the man, but you see I’m a “they” A kid on the way, babe. A family on my mind
I’m 45 for a moment The sea is high And I’m heading into a crisis Chasing the years of my life
15 there’s still time for you Time to buy and time to lose yourself Within a morning star
15 I’m all right with you 15, there’s never a wish better than this When you only got a hundred years to live
Half time goes by Suddenly you’re wise Another blink of an eye 67 is gone The sun is getting high We’re moving on…
I’m 99 for a moment And dying for just another moment And I’m just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are
15 there’s still time for you 22 I feel her too 33 you’re on your way Every day’s a new day…
(oh oh ohs)
15 there’s still time for you Time to buy and time to choose Hey 15, there’s never a wish better than this When you only got a hundred years to live
Hi everyone it is Day two of Just Jot it January. Today LindaGHill has said :The Just Jot It January 2nd prompt, brought to you by JoAnna, from her blog “Anything is Possible,” is: “Time.” Use it any way you’re inspired to. And make sure you stop by and say hi to JoAnna as well! Here’s her blog: https://joannesilvia.com/
Time is a strange thing it really is! It is invisible, it is un-tangible and yet it rules our lives!
LindaGHill said :“As a special feature for February’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday, The Bee and I have decided to collaborate! As you may know, on her site – Just Fooling Around with Bee – a month-long blog-hop is going on in recognition of Love, called “Love Is In Da Blog.” The week 3 prompt is Family Love. So as not to box in your Friday prompts too much, I’ve decided to play around with it a bit, while still keeping in the spirit of collaboration. Here we go:
Just Fooling around with Bee said: Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “relative/relativity”. It can pertain to a person, a thing, a theory, or a concept. Play with it and have fun!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Relatives
Relative, Relativity
Reaching out into space across the Universe
Evenly our spirts touch, is this blessing or a curse.
Light has carried us as we have sped though pace and time
Always we have been moving closer to each other
Travellers ever searching for the one true lover
Imposing laws upon ourselves not knowing the
Very point of our being is all mapped out
Infinitesimal are we, for us the cosmos give not a clout
Time and space and light, on we fly
Yearning for that one special moment before we die.
#############################
Relaxing in your company is where I
Ever want to be.
Learning from you has made me try
All things, you have given me strength and made me, me!
Teacher, friend, sister, brother , cousin, mother, dad
In all things you have grounded me, like fruit from the
Vine I have ripened under your care
Elastic , invisible ties of love bind us all together.
