To Catch Time

To Catch Time 

 

It would not wait to greet me 

I would come into it involuntary 

Like all ever touched by its presence

I'll live as it dictates my existence

 

The stars, as the moon, look down at me

A sun dancing with earth, is so heavenly

Always here, when you first peeped through eternity

Guessed you touch others, as well as me

 

I'm bathed in you, inundated by all you do

Your smile on my face, the story of you

It's told everywhere, on a place call home

An earth that constantly turns, not for me alone

 

The unseen is as real, as the changes I see

When the sands in my hourglass flee

In vain, I attempt to hold you, to keep this

Then be reminded by all I'll miss

Here where the sun shines differently and set as though kissing the horizon, where coral reefs blooms, surf greets the sand, musical rendition of waves pounding the shore. A salty mist is in the air and the verdant beauty of nature abounds everywhere. Learn more.
