Nothing Lasts Forever



Quote of the day:



The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious of the rose - Kahlil Gibran




I

see you..

Do you..
see me too?

I sense who you are...
And all that you are made of...

If time stops...
I'll be your tick...tock.

Moving left to right...
like a swinging pendulum.

I've been watching you...
Have you been watching me too?

Sometimes in life...
We search for what we already have.
We show what we do not possess..
We hide under emotional trees...swarming with bees.

If you want something..go for it. Commit to it..
Take a walk in the sands of time...
Drink from the cup.

I wish i had two more hands...
Just to give you 'Four thumbs Up'.

Nothing lasts forever...
But i'll still be here where you left me.

  14. @Blogoratti and Miss Natural,

    Tis true that when the person returns, She (?) willnot find you where she left you...

    However,
    Like the pendulum,
    Never departing, ever faithful
    Though never in the same place for two seconds,
    Always moving
    Always keeping watch with clock work precision
    Yet ever faithful..ever waiting
    Till the moment when it can swing no more...

    Mancee
