Many years ago
and still
you’re with me
in the silent deep
.
where time spins faster
before our eyes –
.
it won’t be long
until that blur
is just a knowing smile.

Beautiful poem, Betty. I too know the blur of speeding years. This longing to hold onto what cannot be held onto, except in memory. Autumn leaves falling about our heads as we press on down our mysterious path, a loving hand for comfort…
Take care,
Paul

A wonderful poem: both accessible and enigmatic – quite a feat to pull off.

This is paradoxical, as “it won’t be long” relates to time where the conclusion speaks of forever (no time). Are we not there already?

Yes, anything to do with time is always paradoxical. We waste time trying to escape it. 😉 Thanks for your observation, Peter.
