"The Values of Time"

By Tara

Dwelling on the past---

Oh how the time went so fast;

Slipping thru my fingers---I try not to lose my grip.

The future still seems far

In the distance---Not quite reachable

Yet; Always a goal to achieve.

Thinking of all my lost loves--regrets fill my guilty concience;

Broken promises bring me to tears--

Everything that once was is no more.

Aspiring dreams once shining so bright--

Seeming hopeless now---Wishing I

Could fix it.

Everything I've ever known is slipping away,

Those little securities had kept me safe for so long,

Too much change in so little time.

I make the best out of it--Taking all I can with me,

Lessons learned have been true & valueble; The wisdom

& knowledge I've gained has been fulfilling.

So now as time passes by;

I let it slip thru my fingers, letting all go on

As "planned"

"New Years Resolution"

The beginning of a new year.

Broken promises left behind in the year past.

A vow to make new beginnings.

The promise of tommorrow seeming

So far away. A good intention of change coming

Near. Cowering away in fear. Change is inevitable.

Broken promises of the past

Looming in the air, for just a split

second in time--wishing to go back and

change the past. Even though the past

was only yesterday.

The eye of the storm---floating high above.

In the dark skies; It's stays silent but yet

Noticeable at the same time. Tension builds

Up---and it's about to break.

Unleashing the anger of many New Years past,

Everyone comes to realize...

Leave the past in the past.

Dwelling isn't an option.

Moving foward is the only choice.
