Description
The hand on the clock
Keeps spinning round and round
At first I didn’t mind
I didn’t care
But I am older now
And every trip around the dial
Takes me that much further away
From the things
I wanted to accomplish
I sit all alone
In my mind
Wondering where it all went to
I know the last tick
Will soon be upon me
And like a foot print in the sand
The next wave
Will erase any trace of me
And that makes me sad
Some days I still get visions of grandeur where somehow I am going to do my part to make the world a better place and then some days I feel like life is slipping right by me and I have done nothing memorable. This is one of those days haha. I hope everyone likes it. Randy

We all leave some mark, small though it may be. But I understand this so well.

Think of how many people your words have touched and influenced. Think of all the work that you have created and how it may have affected people. To touch people with your art and to affect even just ONE person's life for the better is one of the most amazing things that can be done in the world. So take heart and stop counting the seconds!

Many people would be satisfied having accomplished the things you have accomplished in your life. However, it's your life, and only you can say if what you've done is sufficient. If you still feel like you haven't done enough, my friend, then GET BUSY!! (I just thought seven comments patting you on the head was plenty. SOMEBODY needs to take the other road! LOL! You know I mean that in the most supportive way!) :D

I know how you feel...and I take one day at a time...I just don't know what I want in life...lol

I concur with your feelings. What I find interesting is nihilistic feelings such as you have expressed are how we choose to react to the fact that we will die. The question I'm asking myself is: why can't I choose to react differently to this knowledge? Am I bound like a slave to react negatively to my mortality, or can I transcend this and go on and enjoy life anyway?

"The ancient Greek definition of happiness was the full use of your powers along lines of excellence." ~John F. Kennedy~ I don't know, Randy. Seems to me you fit that definition perfectly.

Quando um poema solta-se da alma, tocando profundamente no coração de quem lê, é algo memoravel meu amigo, assim como este, aplausos (5)

Deep thoughts; and yes, I know exactly what you mean. I have the same feelings and thoughts myself. I have kept a journal since 1974. :) Not that I have much to say, as I am no world traveler or live a fancy life; but its the little things I wanted to write down and capture .. because its those little things that mean the most to me. So, get that book published .. you will have then accomplished just what you wish for.
