The Pangs for Moments Lost !

This beautiful afternoon , hope was to savour

every drop of your sweet, beautiful flavour.

Not to be, the hours became full of emptiness.

Disappointment, a sadness I must confess

is all that greeted the coming of evening,

no joy in the tunes song birds did sing.

The only remedy for the loss of a dance

was to walk along the river Pitt, by chance ?,

Mother Nature's silent beauty gave peace to the soul,

the mountains majestic, covered in snow these eyes came to know,

seeing, that for eons they stood and stand in quiet desperation

knowing the weight of a trillion, billion tons of snows saturation,

oceans and seas of rain changed their faces, osmosis and erosion

troubled / trouble them not as they stand tall in the face of all adversity

knowing in their silent hearts, life is harsh and moves with little felicity.

And I have to wonder ? what about you and me

and what is it?, in our lives, that we truly are able to see,

when Fate, Karma, the grand design, The Creator are in control.

What is it of our lives?, that we will ever truly know

before the light changes from shadow to a bright glow

and in it, to us, everything they will come to show.
