Time slides sideways
and runs rapid and drags
doggedly.
I watch my days
march closer to the end,
and I feel fresh life
fragrant hope and
promise
flow into me from beyond
as I gain access to myself
and the silver that
lay so long dormant
in the lining.
I will dance forever,
regardless.
Charissa's Grace Notes 
Great title. Nice ending.
Thank you so very kindly! It is so strange, as I have begun to live in some essential ways for the very first time, and yet I am halfway thru this thing called life…and yet regardless it is the prelude to a forever now that will be the fulfillment of all longing.
You’re welcome. Wise words there. I’m intrigued by the idea of “essential ways.” That is a very nice way of putting it. I like it. I know I want the same out of my life.
And oldie but a goodie. Dance sister!
