― Salman Rushdie
The ceaseless tread of time
The passage of your days
Drawing circles in the rain
And the wind mourns your flight
With a passing distant train
A whistle on the wind,
That slowly fades away.
And all the hope
That never was,
The midnight talks
Of two of us
Pages filled with promise
Return to primal chaos
Your life a non-event
A bright coin lost unspent
I do not spend much time in the superficial realm John but this one took me deeper than I usually find myself. I am going to have to sit here for a while to take it all in. Thanks for giving me something to do, I am always looking for meaningful distraction from my frequently troubled mind. Best.

Nicely written. People forget how precious their time is until they don't have any more left. Is that your image as well? Thanks for posting this :)

Come on John. they get better each time. I think this is so amazing. Its actually true in this universe we are but a speck of sand. Our dreams are ours and matter to us only I feel. Thanks again

This poem is hauntingly beautiful John; perhaps it's the 'space' I currently find myself in? It's amazing but really sad too; In the end, I guess we are all "unspent coins". sigh
You really do have a serious talent! And on a lighter note, I just noticed tonight that I wasn't following you?? not a Freudian slip buddy :)
