A change in season, a change in time
A change in feelings I thought were mine
As cooler winds come blowing in,
And daylight fades away too soon
Sometimes our feelings deep inside
Begin to shift and go askew
Thoughts we once held strong and true,
Can slowly start to go astray
And give us pause to view the past,
The memories we've retained
Our lives are but mere specks in time,
Like seasons come and go
And what we do within that time,
Is all our passage shows

hmm... this really puts your life into perspective, and to read a piece of literature and have it make you really think is quite an accomplishment, especially in so short of a poem. *BRAVO*

Thanks M,
This came during a time when many things were happening and I found myself rethinking some of my thoughts and feelings about things.

Thank you so much Lori!
These were random thoughts that came about from something that was going on at the time.
I'm glad you liked it.

"As daylight fades away to soon", there just never seems to be enough time to get it all done in does there.

Thanks Inkstar,
No, there is never enough time. Or so it seems.

yes a good look at the passage of our lives and the changes we make. Is it as we become older that we also become more wiser to lifes experiences and those thoughts we felt so strong about simply fade away. I think so. Thanks for sharing

Thanks ck,
I don't know if age makes us any wiser, but it definitely changes our way of thought.

"Thoughts we once held strong and true,

How true this is, and not always for the good. I often feel lost as time marches on! I love the wistful quality of the writing, and it has a very nice flow!

Thanks RI,
I often feel lost in time myself. That's partially where this story/poem came from.

the metere is divine in this and thus flows so quickly one must go back and reread and read again. good penning.

Thanks Starr,
I did some editing before I posted this. It was originally just my thoughts at the time. I reworded some lines to make it flow better while still keeping the thoughts in tact, hopefully.
Thanks,
~Greg~

This is nice Greg, it has an easy flow, like the soft winds of change perfect for the subject,

Thanks Ronn,
I had been reflecting on some recent changes and then realized that the changes are always occurring. We simply make our own adaptive changes to keep from falling behind. -chuckle-

I wrote a scintillating review yesterday but AllPoetry ate it. I liked the easy feeling of this poem. In just a few lines you expressed how the changing of days and passage of time changes us as people. We process new information and sometimes change our way of being. Well written.

Thanks Peliroja,
I hate it when that happens. -chuckle- It's eaten a couple of mine as well.
Yes, these were reflections on the changing of times and how our feelings and perceptions often change with them, hopefully for the better.

Aye, and sometiems the ones that hurt the most are actually a clearing for better ones to come, as in the case of failed love. I felt that one many times only to realize it was a broken path that kead me to soemthing amazing!Best of luck in this and all of your endeavors.

Thanks Lady-Pegasus,
That is quite true. I often find that as one person or thing leaves or fades away, another will come along that turns out to be better than the last. Of course, it doesn't always work that way, -chuckle-, but often enough to believe that it will.

A very moving piece. The opening was especially strong. "Go askew" in line six didn't seem quite right to me, but that may just be my perception. I could identify with this. Good job.

Thanks Minorchar,
This was a reflection on how our thoughts and feelings on things can often change within the short time we spend here.

I enjoyed this piece. Stanza two is my favorite. I love your slant rhyme (was it supposed to be slant rhyme? Sometimes I see rhyme where it isn't.) I'm not so sure of the plot or point of this, or if it was just lyrical. It will keep me thinking though.

Thanks Samuel,
These were just thoughts on the brief visit we make here within the overall spectrum of time, and yet how much our thoughts and feelings can change within that time.

Thanks!
This started as some random thoughts I had one night not long ago when some different things were going on. I decided to write them done and try to express the feelings I was having. This is what ended up coming out. I'm glad you like it.
