The time that passes while waiting for the scenery to change.

The view remains the same
From my bedroom window
Very static and still
Unchanging and rather tedious
The gloriousness of a sunset
Can be stunning and colourful
These eyes have become blind
To its beauty
The sound of the world as it wakes
Has become but a quiet whisper
But the taste of the rain
On my tongue
Is like sweet nectar, still
Time changes the view in my window
Very, very slowly

    Amazing, I thought this very deep and inspiring. Very well written. Isn’t it all so true that in the hustle of life, we sometimes lose the true beauty of creation. Thank you Lucy.

    Dear Lucy
    Trust me, I’m looking out that same
    window. You put it together so “true”.
    Thanks for this one~

    I have been looking for your stories for several days…even though I’m still new to this site and don’t actually know anyone, I feel a strong bond to all because of our shared gift of words.
    Your poems are inspirational, Lucy…
    I enjoy whatever you write because it comes from your heart and soul.
    In a world filled with negativity and coldness, it is so refreshing to be able to come here to write and read about the goodness and decency of man’s inner-most heart.
    Keep writing, Lucy and we’ll all keep reading…

    You are truly a poet!

    A heart felt poem. I liked it.

  • Matthew Newport on Oct 22, 2007

    Wow I have read plenty of your writing, but you never cease to amaze me. Brilliant. Well done.

  • JNV on Oct 25, 2007

    What did you mean about wondering where my profile is? We have profiles?

  • JNV on Oct 25, 2007

    Sorry Lucy, my computer was first disobedient and then overzealous

  • Lucy Lockett on Oct 29, 2007

    No silly, I wish we did have profiles and I could learn more about you!

  • IcyCucky on Oct 29, 2007

    Wonderful poem, Lucy.

    A great Poem. It’s true that the beauty we see each day becomes commonplace and we become used to it. We forget how lucky we are and sometimes need to be reminded.

    Thank you for reminding me, Lucy.

    I have started a chat room for our writer friends. If you are interested please send me your email for an invitation on one of my article pages. I will turn spam on your email address as soon as I get it.

    Dear Lucy,

    First, I am waiting to read more of your poems. Please be ok, and keep on writing.

    Second, I am thanking you from the bottom of my heart for all the wonderful comments. I really am appreciated.

    Hi Lucy,
    When I read this poem I could so relate to your meaning. I really liked your expression of time. So true.

    If you care to take a peek I have two that you might enjoy reading on the subject of time. They are called \”Just a Matter of…\” & \”Life\’s a Mystery\”

    I too wish we had profiles or at least a way to communicate with the members only of this site. I think you and I share a lot in common on a personal level. At least I feel that way when I read your poetry and think of my own.

    Lucy Lockett–I really like that name, and I especially like this poem. I believe it is the first of yours that I have read. Let me assure you that it won\\\’t be the last. It is excellently written, and it makes me realize that we do take all the beauty of our daily lives for granted. How we would miss it, though, if we should go blind.
    An excellent piece.
