twirling
swirling
smiling
fighting
screaming
jumping
bumping
crying


tears
smears
whines
lines
moving like ants
tearing of pants

hugging
slugging
pushing
smushing

childhood
school
real real
cool

something I can do...

I can't access facebook at work but I can access the blog...yipee...so look to hear from me almost daily cause here I can find that quiet moment...

hello world...

for the moment I'm back...life has settled...since I really wrote last poppy lost his leg, the parents have moved closer to me and I got a new job...a lot since last February...
there is so much to sort out, so much I need to put to rest, but right now I have to deal with the cramp in my freaking calf...oooooouch....

oh but WHY is it that the guy that I can have long INTELLECTUAL conversations with and who is FINE AS HELL is 24 and my co-worker...WHHHHHYYYYYYYY...God is such a joker...sigh...oh well...I really really need to learn how to turn back the hands of time...I really DONT look or feel 41, almost 42, and this is really posing an issue for me...I need to write it on my arm like a cheat sheet...YOU ARE OLD DAMMIT leave the young ones ALONE...

new beginnings

rebirth
starting the clock
at the midway mark
every day
a new beginning
every second
rebirth
tick tick tick

babies born
elders pass
young adults
move on
new beginnings
rebirth
tick tick tick

time changes
but stands still
always the same
never the same
starting over
rebirth
tick tick tick

new jobs
new homes
new people
relationships
fresh as a baby
born
rebirth
tick tick tick

new beginnings
rebirth
tick tick tick

fall

friends and family
food digesting

jackets
coming together

time

where did the time go?
yesterday the kids
were small
the parents young
I was starting on my journey
of life

where does the time go?
now I have Greys
the kids have kids
the parents
have grands
and great-grands

where did the time go?
the seasons keep changing
like clockwork
the trees are still
in the place i saw them last
not seeming to age

where does the time go?
with a blink of an eye
and a nod of the head
it's all different

I'm called Ms.
by folks
in my minds eye
I'm the same age as
children were born
when I was twenty
and now
they're twenty

where it it go?
it seems like yesterday
I ran in the park
with no aches or pains
no cares no worries

but time keeps ticking
the world keeps turning

where did the time go?
it slipped away
never to come back

but I have memories
stories
smells
an everlasting present
of time
