Moments on this road
Stop me
The glare of the evening light on the wet road
Suggests a daylight that passed me by
I don't know when
But shows itself
When I am too late
This is goodbye....
Moments on this road
Stop me
And I do what I can.
I watch the sun set.

ReplyDeleteDon't you just hate it when you feel like time is passing you by. You just want to reach out there and grab it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me pause for a moment and reflect

You have written a nice poem here! :) The time goes to fast, and it sometimes seems as it will not stop for a while, not at all.. it just goes faster and faster.. :/
ReplyDeleteSo we have to stop ourselves, look around and just live in the present of the time beeing, sometimes.. :)
Nice poem, Sandy :)
ReplyDeletewishes,

Beautiful and strong! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI will stop me more often to pause.
ReplyDeletememories do take us back to the past often when we least expect them.
ReplyDeleteLovely writing. It made me a little melancholy, to think that I let some days go by without being awake within them.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
A great reminder to make the most of the NOW as it is all we have! Thanks for this, Sandy! Enjoy your NOW today!

Beauty in your words Sandy and also love your Sky Corn too.
ReplyDeleteGreat reason to pause. . . with no photo to accompany it, we can all imagine our own sunsets and pretend we were there! I have a new camera and am blogging again at my old site.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy this poem, Sandy. I'm thinking that often we say "I have time..." and then we realize it's too late now.
ReplyDeleteit is very sad...ifelt loneliness with these verses
ReplyDeleteWith cfs I've felt like that from time and time, then I snap myself out of it.
ReplyDeleteExcellently expressed.
Watching Sunset.. I know the feeling and have experienced it so much.. thanks for bringing it again..now that I am not able to at my new place.
ReplyDeleteSo poetic and poignant.;)
ReplyDeleteWe are all constantly in a hurry to get somewhere, that we forget to enjoy the trip.;)
xo
so vivid and intense!
ReplyDeleteI can certainly relate to this as I just don't know where the days have gone. Very lovely poem.
ReplyDeleteEvery moment is a revelation...WE just have to pause and be in commune with it..

Yes, a pause helps to bring us to present.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem.
This piece compells us to pause along the road, just for a moment, taking in all that is around us.
ReplyDeleteWithout the pause...the music doesn't make sense. The sentence doesn't make sense. Life doesn't make sense. Pause!!!!!!!

ohh, i really like this... capturing the day as it sifts through our hands on the road we travel... that is as it appears to me... caesura
ReplyDeletelife can certainly be like this, and we do what we can, we watch the sun set.... wonderful reflective piece.
ReplyDeleteeveryone needs a pause to know that something good has happened...
ReplyDeletei love your words Sandy!
Very well expressed!
ReplyDeleteA beautifully expressed moment - sometimes it takes nature to stop us in our tracks...
ReplyDeleteA beautiful interpretation of this prompt. We all do what we can, dont' we?

PS: Thanks for the review!
This is pause for thought (no pun intended) I too felt a little melancholy but I think we have all felt this way at one time or another.. only not all of us has a sunset to watch as consolation!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words...I enjoyed the storytelling here. Pause and enjoy the sunset!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being here.
