Time is Scary

 Reposted from my "me, old blogs never read, and . . . " blog

I'm a saver, meaning I don't throw things away. I just put stuff in boxes or sacks until I might want it again. That's what this site is all about. Disclaimer: Much here is not my original writing, a lot is humorous email I've been sent. I don't copy any jokes here from magazines or books. Please let me know if you know or are the original author by leaving a comment as such. I will check it out and delete the suspect article or give you credit if I can verify your claim. It's your call.

I wrote thils poem and it then to be posted. But then I didn't like it and didn't post.  Saturday, June 26, 2021-- some of you will remember this one. 

   

My (Our) Heading 

Seeing another time is scary 

Are we looking ahead or behind 

Or to the left or to the right 

Perhaps upwards or woefully down 

I (we) see with the eyes and with the mind 

What's with the eyes is generally real 

But with my mind I cannot trust 

There enters fear and emotions 

Flavored by the other senses 

Is it real or do I imagine 

Life is complicated we must cope 

Sleep and day dreams will give relief 

Thinking of all this and more is too much 

I'm giving in and will float with time 

Doing that is hard if one must think 

A third parameter enters in 

My body's needs must be sustained 

Here desires too play a part 

These two are life's rudders and paddles 

Stay on my pad of ice there's no brake 

When the ice melts things will fastly change 

Am I the dog who can swim to shore 

Or the cat who hasn't learned to swim 

Can there be a miracle to come 

Surely one is needed else I die

 - This is not a finished writing and I do not intend to finish. Somewhere in the process I lost track of my ending and then I couldn't get back to it fast or efficiently.  

    I have its replacement here,

    It may not be much better.
