(I am delighted to showcase my poem, Rapids of Time, winner of Freelance Market News Poetry Competition and published in the December issue )
THE
RAPIDS OF TIME
Lying
beside the wrong person
terribly
alone and mind in turmoil,
I
focussed on a star, diamond bright
leaking
through a midnight sky
so
very, very far away.
Did
someone up there
lie
beside the wrong person
and
soak feather pillows
with
silent tears,
as
deep alien breaths soothed
the
sound of thumping heart?
No
answers came
the
night so full of questions,
regret
and finally dreams
that
swirled emotions wildly
through
the rapids of time.
Time,
the one thing that finally
catches
us all, changes our direction,
erases
doubt when the moment comes
and
answers tumble from infinity.
The
choice is made
dreams
become reality
the
nightmare over
beneath
that shining star.
