The Fullness Of Time
Everything comes to an end

Needing to escape reality,
A book chosen at random,
An adventure or a holiday,
Distracting in our thoughts,
Getting me out of my head.
***
Whisking me to the stars,
Any imaginary new world,
Or a saunter in my locale,
An overseas walk-a-thon,
Possibly a future dream.
***
A fight with gory monsters,
As a King of the universe,
Maybe a forgotten romance,
Or even a fantasy promise,
Escaping pleasure beasts.
***
A long lost pet is found,
Bring an end to torment,
A roller coasters fast ride,
Stroll down a dirt track,
There’s no end in sight.
***
Nature, brilliant nature,
Dressed in autumn gold,
Rainbows to travel solo,
Glossing over the pain,
Leaving it all behind me.
***
A ride on a greyhound,
Full saddle on the side,
Scooped into a basket,
Flown up to the skies,
Anything is possible.
***
Morning, noon or night,
Winter, summer, spring,
Today, now or tomorrow,
Nightmares and dreams,
Imagination taking shape.
***
Reality escaped again,
Allowing time to heal,
A break from feelings,
Thoughts and pain,
Mission accomplished.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
