Time stood still

Time stood still

I stand, 
             In grace, 
Before land, 
                     Embraced, 
In awe, 
             Of all, 
Before, 
             I fall, 
Lured, 
           By light, 
Flawed, 
              In flight, 
I rise, 
          Adrift, 
Sunrise, 
               In rift. 

Across breadth of saplings and mountain terrain, 
I leave behind all my possessions & pain. 
Memories unfold, I take view of my life, 
Part of my soul is my children & wife. 

I took most of my chances and danced in the rain, 
Regrets not worth mulling, burdens now wane, 
Such grandeur I missed, I took too much time, 
Dreaming of life instead of taking what's mine. 

And now, 
                I fly, 
The how, 
                The why, 
Will soon, 
                  Bestow, 
Croon, 
            The know, 
A kiss, 
            For thee, 
Bliss, 
          For me, 
Time, 
          Stands still, 
You'll find, 
                   The will.

              Dreaming of life instead of taking what's mine.."

Simon, wow!  I love this! I love the way it flows...like silk...all the way through. The rhyme enhances and it does so gently and unobtrusively so that the poem is not stilted. The rhyming is not in your face. This is really great work!  It totally deserves the 5 stars I am giving it ... and I am also pinning it. Very, very well done x

My Dear Friend Simon,

Another brilliant work, using the five senses of the Soul, acceptance, analysis, death, life, and love, to illustrate it.

All my love,
