How quickly time passes <br />and the years go by, <br />then we look back at things <br />as if they only happened yesterday <br />and when the cloud of illusion lifts <br />we suddenly realise <br />just how many years have gone by. <br />It get a little frightening when you think <br />of how time can slip through our fingers <br />like the batting of an eye. <br />We think of how many lives <br />have quickly come and gone, <br />of how many faces from our life <br />have disappeared forever, <br />never again to be seen. <br />We can only go forward <br />like generations before <br />always looking for heaven <br />as we open each and every door. <br /> <br />12 September 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-illusion-s-cloud-lifts/
