one thing
the moons come and go
from sun rise to sun rise.
whirlwinds, dance upon your mind
as do fairies, fluttering amongst the morning's dew.
gold dust and glowing rainbows
happiness and anticipation posing as a goal
leaving only trails of mindless puzzles
and unanswered prayers.
if there were one thing that i could do for you,
i would stop time,
slow down your world,
slow down its pace,
let your sun set upon your pastures of joy,
let the whirlwinds that dance upon your mind,
do a slow waltz as we walk hand in hand.

don't know if what newton dictates is beholding to the poetry.
anticipation and happiness...wrapped with expectation can lead to questions, doubts and disappointments.
"IF" is the word...would if i could BUT....
believe time cannot be stopped. change is inevitable.
whirlwind being whimsical, dream like in this instance... if you change the waltz's cadence and its three quarter time...it wouldn't be a waltz anymore. so looks like the cadence isn't going to change. the dance is just going to end. the music stops...and the band continues by playing another tune. with no awkwardness or sadness to be addressed...
" let your sun set upon your pastures of joys".....i.e. memories.

I know that feeling of just wanting to slow down the world, my favourite lines in this poem are
" leaving only trails of mindless puzzles
and unanswered prayers. "

thank you for commenting.
yes, the world spins too fast for me.
i stand deer eyed in most cases and let the world unravel in front of me.
