Click here to hear the poet read his words:
a life in the day
this morning
the sun shone
and it was hot and lasted forever
because I had so much to do
running learning and laughing
this afternoon
there was a mix
of blue sky and clouds
and the time flew by
because I had so much to do
working wedding and children
this evening
the sky is overcast
with cold winds and some rain
and time drags
because I have nothing to do
and no one to do it with
but I remember this morning
and I remember you

Oh, this is simply beautiful and tugs at my heart quite a bit.
Thank you again, Bridgette, you are very kind.
Once again I’m lost in your words, both written and spoken. 😊
Once again I’m blushing at your praise, Nancy.
Thank you.
How very delightful and charming of you to say! ☺️
You sum life up beautifully – with the voice of each of the stages and the changing awarenesses of time… And memory.
‘The sun shone
and it was hot and lasted forever…’ – I love this, I can just see the child.
Excellent title, and brilliant GIF from the artwork.
Thanks, Jenne, I know Big Bill did 7 stages, but I can only scrape out three!
The gif’s pretty cool, huh!
Hmmm, food for thought there! Strong words and art.
Thanks, Kate, always a pleasure to see your supportive words here.
💚
Thank you, Cassa
And Alive During The Day..😅😅😅. Happy blogging.🙏🏻💕🙏🏻
