The Hours Passing By..

The Hours Passing By
______________________

I see A
SmaLL
ChiLd
with arms
outstretched

spinning
in circles,..

staring at the
sky.

(The World
is
moving so
fast
for him.)

"Look at
me!"

he screams.

(in pure
delight.)

"I can fly!"


Then he
stops,

(as the
WoRLd
comes
into focus
again. )


then the minutes
become
hours...

and days
turn into nights
which breed 1,000
Dark Eternities!

(that
die with
every
dAwN.)
___

Somewhere
down
the Line,

The Stars
ceased to be
Angels..

and
became
burning rocks
instead.

+

The
Boogeyman
beneath his
Bed is
but one of many
stories on the
13Oclock
NeWs;

Men cannot fly..

(and Magic is a
Con-Mans Parlor
Trick.)

But (sadly) the
greatest illusion
lost, was His
Childish Innocence!

(which amounted
to little
more than worldly
ignorance.)
___

+
(epilogue)

I was that
child..

arms
outstretched,
spinning
around
in circles,

staring up
at the sky..

Yet now I am
a "Man"..!!!!

(who deeply misses that
happy kid who
ignored
The Hours Passing
By.)
