    time?

    there were tears, and time turned slowly- though
    the only one who noticed walked away.
    left alone, the moments languished.
    left to fate, the old ones vanished.
    left to write the holy word,
    one l e t t e r
    at a time.

    time- a curious word.
    time.
    worth all your wasted opportunities.
    all forgotten lovers live somewhere in time-
    longing to be remembered.
    the places change and
    faces age,
    and
    we remain the same.

    conflict of gods.
    the waters turn and tumble
    into waves that mumble names
    of shipwrecked men
    against the face of rocks
    that change, eventually-
    but too slowly for anyone to notice.

    the earth dies.
    the world we wash and ruin
    with our wants,
    is buried each day
    by our songs.

    fantastic imagery...

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
