---Lightly timing...---

Story by Jiblits on SoFurry

, , , ,

A thought toward times passed, yet minds still free. Remembering what so many before, & so few today could see.


Tricky is a watch with hands always turning

Never unaware of a candle light burning

To simply give reason to seconds ticking away

Instead of lost on thought till night turns to day

The candle shows only light, & gives room, space for a dream to stride

A clock shows haste, keeping hesitation close, ones own worry can never really hide

The tick & tock is always the same

The dance is different among every candle flame

The shadows that follow just out of reach give to patience & distraction

The timing always available, one battles with personal satisfaction

The numbered circle gives to ones own day available at any moment

The flame lit gives one reassurance, to rest for tomorrow, content

The divide is only seen when dreams meld with ones sight

With a light hearted touch, those who wish, escape the night

To put off eyes closing for another short while

We day dream in shadows, searching for a smile

Casual is the stranger who see's beyond a door

Strange is anyone casual enough to move forward, keep eyes only toward the floor

To not see what any able can

To defy commonality among the many, a fellow human

Speaking from points of view long taken before my time

I seek only comfort, presentation, understanding among each rhyme
