Rented time

Like a door left ajar 

Much to see and all set apart. 

Tides of time 

Twenty thousand breaths breathed, 

in and out , out there and far out, 

my imagination keeps you at bay, 

And dreams of ghouls in trees instead. 

~~~ 

I peer in and see my things all scattered, 

Glass and hopes all lie shattered 

Did you ransack your mind yesterday 

And throw all that’s mine out of it? 

Or did you grope for thoughts of me 

And finding none; went on a spree? 

~~~ 

When lying in bed day before today, 

Feeling a little of you growing on me 

Had a glimpse of green mountains and hills, 

Ferns on their sides had my conscience stand still. 

Should I just lie here and watch you grow 

The birds’ song did not tell me so 

Every morning my eyes, they ope’ 

And every star directs me, you know…
