Into the moment’s thunder.
My grown up and my child at war;
Tearing me asunder.

Age has made me far too wise;
Ive learned as time went by;
I fear Ill meet my own demise;
Too smart to try am I!

Once I was a dreamer;
Who leapt and sang and danced
Today Im just a schemer;
There is no second chance.

They warn you and protect you;
From things they never tried;
Time stacks the deck against you;
When you should own the sky. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 49 [topic] => 19 [informant] => softerware [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )

Tearing me asunder.

Too smart to try am I!

Once I was a dreamer;

From things they never tried;
Time stacks the deck against you;
When you should own the sky.

I love this. We write of the same thoughts, you and I. That/'/s part of the magic of poetry; that the same idea or concept can be delivered in so many different ways, yet convey the exact same intent of delivery? This is so cool!

I/'/m feeling the second to last stanza.
Damn sad but ain/'/t it the truth. I/'/m not there yet but the day is near. What a sobering write.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
