Created from the broken wing~ of time,
it has seized all of tomorrows dreams,
and left behind a single thread of hope.
I sit and weave in another feather,
a reminder of today's flightless wind.
Watching from my dreamless state,
I wait, for time to mend its' broken wing~

Eternity
She watched as he walked away
crying gently with each step he took
her eyes never left him
her cries became louder the further he got
why she thought, why did he leave without me
soon his distance was unable to see
she sat by the window gazing quietly
hoping he would come back to her
still sighing hopelessly...
I called her over to me
patted her head, gave her a hug and said
"It's alright Lady, Shawn will be home soon
you'll see".
Lady is our boarder collie,
she loves her family so very much
when any of us leaves, to her it is truly
an eternity.

Fractured (just a little thought)
Oh how time can take
and how many times
I have been right here
sad, yet so full of life
a strong feeling
somewhere I have been fractured...
a deep crack has appeared
and I must wait...
wait till I am healed again
perhaps it is only
a thin frail line that runs through me
and yet separates me from myself so deeply
I will just have to wait and see
and hope to heal soon...
a fracture can take a while to mend
and the memory of it lingers on
and on for a long time to pass...
oh how time can take
and how many times...
I have been right here
once again-
