Sometimes


Sometimes, I think I need a little space,
A little time just to think
What's happening around me.
So much has happened!
I have no time to stop
and savour moments,
So precious, so dear
For I  have to rush on to
The next station
The next appointment.

Life is always such a hurly burly.
I need a little time to myself
A little room to breathe
To pull back and stand aside
To let all these moments  sink in ;
Good moments or bad .
They are just as precious
For they concern you
Your sincerity, other commitments
Other friends or other frolics.....

I want to  close my eyes and say
It's true, it's happening
Now, at this moment... .
To me ..good or bad !


I want to  forget about tomorrow
Or even  today.
Yesterday is all that I have .
I am not sure even about today.
Tomorrow is far away, so
I hold on to yesterday.
History is the subject I like to study .
As history is about things  happened
In black and white.
I can see what's past clear! 
I don't want to live in dreams; in unreality !
Even if in my dreams there's you !
