Explaining

by Patrick Watson   Nov 16, 2022




It’s hard to believe in summer
In the dead of winter
To imagine love making
In any other time than the present

Pensive moods; swing strange thoughts through my mind
Grasping the meaning of time
Time is unstoppable
Gobbles up who I am
Spits out my existence, into the ‘moulding pot of dust’
It’s mercifully impersonal and relentless

Chiselling my ‘nugget’ from life’s place
My words my legacy
Frail, very fragile, but compelling
I lay me bare, open for scrutiny
Be it only a fleeting glace from some kindred sprit
It serves to validate my purposes
