Whatever time you wish it to be... <br />It never seems the right time for that time! <br />Since 'that' time wished and wanted, <br />Has long been gone. <br />Without a moment of it, <br />Hesitating long. <br /> <br />Whatever dream you missed, <br />Reminisced hoping it makes a reappearance... <br />On a dream list picked. <br />From a memory lifted. <br />Forget it! <br />You will never be pleased, <br />Having both doubts AND memories. <br /> <br />The time now that is lived, <br />Has to be lived in the moment it is given. <br />Sitting in a rut to give up hope, <br />In smothered despair... <br />Delivers just that. <br />Prepared frustrations. <br /> <br />Living in torment transmitted, <br />That sucks breath from life... <br />Is death. <br />No matter what the temperature of it is!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
