These passing days

[*SWeeT-e*]

These days go by so quickly
before I know it, another has gone
another week, another month
it's all the same
I cannot distinguish one from the other
I cannot stop them
as I watch them pass me by.
They slip through my fingers
one by one
like grains of sand
and I just watch them fall
what am I doing with them
will I let the wind catch them and blow them away
or build a beautiful sand castle
only to have it too be washed away
in time
with the unstoppable coming of the tide.
And what is it all for
what am I for?
Will some passer-by walk down the beach
long after I have gone
and see the mark that I have left
or see only the ruins of something
I tried to build on this unstable everchanging ground
and wonder what it meant
or simply pass it by as yet another
shapeless mound
that once stood proud and tall
now humbled
indistinguishable from all the rest.
What am I doing here
where is my place?
A lonely wanderer on this eternal beach
stopping every now and then to
catch a colourful sunset
and admire its beauty
watch it turn to darkness like all the rest
until a new day is born
over and over
unending cycle
and I the anonymous traveller
caught in its random chaos
whose footprints will inevitably fade
in time
leaving no trace behind.
What is it I am looking for
what is it I am waiting for?
Aimlessly drifting
forever
lost.

awwwwwww, kimmy, your thoughts shine right through this poem. straight from the heart, and i can definitely tell that you're going through some troubled times. i hope whatever decision you make works out for you. everyone belongs somewhere, now you just need to figure out where that somewhere is. but who's to say that the journey getting to that somewhere cant be half of the fun?
never stop believing

Wow kimmy, you always amaze me with your beautiful writing

No matter what you'll always have them to be remembered by.
Lost without direction? Maybe you should travel a little. New York? hehe

Europe?
Time will tell, I know its hard waiting. I can't wait for the next 3 weeks to pass, I just want to get back there as soon as posible.

sweet*e
that is beautiful, I know you will find what is in your heart and what direction you need to go. It only can be found in you. Everyone goes through that re-eval life. Sometimes we wonder what more is out there.
