PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I paused today

Put cares away

And finally let

The moment stay



Saw feathered skies

Through children’s eyes

Let time stand still

And realized



This life of gain

And gathering in

Pursuits of gold

Desires to win



They offer not

But jaded dust

Doomed to decay

By moth and rust



And time cares not

Nor pardon grants

For foolish charge

Or circumstance



But slowly slips

As grains of sand

Through trembling grip

Of aging hand



So lend an ear

And pause, I pray

Take time to let

The moments stay



For precious times

Allowed to be

Etch memories for

Eternity
