timeless future
continuous ticking
forever it seems
yet for me
I see that light
beckoning
whispering
where once I heard nothing
Oh hush
turn off the brightness
quickly I run
yet
my feet don't move
aging knees cannot run
sadly I know
what once was endless
now detours
towards home

It is about aging my dear. It is about how we think we have all the time in the world and then one day we wake up and we are not young anymore. Does that clear it up??? lol Thanks for your comment.

I can relate to your written words, for easily love flies out the window, and all that remains is a place we call home. Even that is not the home we wish for or desire. Thank you for sharing as I wish you happiness and joyful life with love.
