Once Upon a Time

Mary T. Wells

 

When there’s no time of day,

Seconds go without note,

Minutes won’t matter,

You don’t count the hours,

And time will be lost.

 

When there’s no time of day,

You can never be sure

Of what’s been missed . . .

no prod and yet no splendor.

There just isn’t time.

 

In your splay of disregard,

Your recognition evades

The embers of fire denied

but in the end, it’s you.. . .

and your regret is just too late.

You didn’t take the time.

 

When there’s no time of day,

There’s no whispering voice,

No reassuring touch,

No memories made . . .

Only hours slipping by-

But there is no time of day

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alone    

Mary T. Wells 

 

  

     A cool breeze stings your face.

     A fallen leaf, withered, dying,

     Caressing you as in passing.

 

     Winds whispering in dejection.

     Moans and sighs

     Send chills to the bone

 

     . . . and there you are.

     You are alone . . .
