Save Time in a Bottle
In…
The days gone by,
There are memories
And moments to
Keep.
If…
I could save time
In a bottle,
I’d wake up those
Parts of me fast
Asleep.
To…
Reminisce and
Romance with those
Times to remember.
Only…
Focus on the things
Morphed into a vision.
Of all the seasons in
The months of March,
June, September and December.
You…
Know, the ones where
I laughed, sang and
The day never ends.
The…
Childlike wonder where
Simple things
Bring joy and happiness.
Again and again.
Feeding…
The ducks at the park
On a Sunday afternoon,
Or exploring the woods,
Spending hours, that stretch
On and on.
Sticking…
My tongue out with
The first sign of snow,
Or ice skating all day
On the neighborhood pond.
Romping…
In the ocean, tasting
The salty air,
Or mastering the slalom
Ski on water as smooth
As glass.
If…
I could save time
In a bottle,
You would see all
The blessings.
Sparkles…
Dancing in the
Midnight sky,
Raining down as a
Reminder, never
Forget.
The…
Life lived before,
In the past, also
A part of the present.
In…
The deep recesses
Of a spirit tethered,
To the tug and the pull.
Daily routines and places
To be.
Oh…
How I have quickly
Forgotten, to embrace
The full spectrum of
Simply being me.
If…
I could save time
In a bottle,
It would seem,
You would be looking
Into a crystal ball.
Life’s…
Mysteries, wishes
And dreams,
Swirling and dancing
The tango,
Mesmerizing onlookers,
Adults, children and all.
The…
Magic wand so
Often we yearn could sway
In the air,
Bringing peace and serenity
The burdens nobody bears.
I…
Believe our experiences
Are teachers in disguise.
Always bringing knowledge and
Wisdom as our guide.
Learn…
The things we must,
The aim not to repeat
What keeps us stuck.
Actions and words of others,
Infringe or support,
Choice is amplified day and night,
Of which we are designed to transport.
If…
I could save time
In a bottle,
I would gather the pieces
Of my soul, scattered
Across the fields of
Yesterday. And
Look out on the horizon
Knowing I hold what is dear
Forever in my heart,
A tight grip, a feeling, and confidence
The future looks bright.
If…
You could save time
In a bottle,
What would you see?
Are we really that
Different, you and me?
Are we really that
Different, you and me?……Like the stars in the night sky we are unique and light years apart, yet like like the stars in the night sky we are all the same.
