Moments In Time
Written by; Wilfred Mellers, June 11,2015

Messages I find lacking comfort it brings
The birds have forgotten the words to songs they frequently sing
Day's ordinary, nights solitary as if my domicile was a cemetery
Babies once cute sours the fruit and the Deva's has gone mute

Once unforgettable I gradually tiptoe to the inevitable
Thoughts never entered my mind but there now I find
Deep in contemplation and overwhelmed by frustration
Price paid, foundation laid, and somber the tunes the band played

Cosmic vibrations bring on sensations throughout creation
Sour became bitter for I have no fans on twitter
Allegiance made in murky waters they wade
Forgone conclusion was just another illusion

Wounds I suture for an unforgiving future
Spinning wheels spin for the time we're living in
Days numbered for all the time I've slumbered not
Questing why to God for answers with reply of silence

Rarely heard a whisper or word of consolation sought
The timepiece chimes in prime time sublime
Tic Toc the clock I forgot my head's on a chopping block
While putting on my socks the grimed reaper knocks

Time is fleeting and beauty has taken a beating
No more competing for my seasons are completing
No longer defending for my work is ending
Where did it all go for I don't know?

Screams that could be heard by the deft yet I never left
Promises kept, secrets under carpets swept I couldn't except
Children no longer play with marbles
Wondrous items seldom marvels

Things once tame are now harmful
Once splendorous the life is now awful
Words spoken are now hurtful
Your compassion is not even helpful

Big stones alone thrown as mothers weep for their baby's won't sleep
Waters deep as shadows creep for the dragon is at his keep
High on a hill to shallow fields callow I was the sparrow
For in the end all I wanted was a friend that I could depend
