PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The clock ticks on, taking minutes in its wake
And time goes on, making brand new yesterdays
Sing your songs into the wind
And let it carry them away
Cast your fears away from sin
And let the memories all fade

Take time to let the fires cultivate
Take your time, don't rush the minutes of the day
Let your pen continue burning bright
As the slow, continual burn, keeps you warm in the night
A fire tended never burns away
And always, will the slow burning light pervade

The clock ticks on, as lapsing time fades away
Life goes on, without a care for pain
And the minutes fade to hours
The hours into days
Until yesterday's devoured
By all the time that fades

Sometimes, there comes that spark of realizing
How it feels when everything has perfect timing

And in those rarest instances
Will you take the time to be
The one who reaches for the moments
Or will you let them slip from reach
Tomorrow's not a given
Why wait for it to never come your way
Yesterday has ended
So, why hold on to what has gone away

Kindle that fire that burns inside
Don't let it burn away
Stoke the embers from the waning light
To make the fire rage

And just, hold on
Don't let the fire fade
Let the slow burn light your way
Feed fuel into the flames

Reach out as the slow burn lights the way
Hold on as the embers turn to flame
And don't let go of what you have today
And let the slow burning warmth remain
