the grand illusion, my own delusion.....

I found these in my in box. I'm not sure what I was waiting for or why I had not posted.

I like the first better, the second one hits to close to home.

A Glimpse of Time

12/7/07

A colorful smile,

and I pause for a while.

Thinking, wishing

what will become.

Strangers pass,

not a pause,

perhaps a subtle glance,

as time ticks to it's beat.

Busy, so busy,

a vague breath,

a tapping toe,

a hurried dash.

Life is a snapshot,

a portrait,

a glimpse of time,

that once was.

Self Delusions

12/7/07

I long for a good cry,

a sob,

one that causes,

a gasp, as sigh.

The stream,

covers a cheek,

to taste the salt,

on my tongue like cream.

Personified strength,

an image, no more,

the grand illusion,

my own delusion.....
