"Moments Frozen in Time"
"The time will come when temporal shall cease.
This time revolving wheel shall rest in peace:
No summer then shall glow, nor winter freeze;
Everything shall be to come … all that’s past is past,
A new age … an eternal now shall ever last." ~ Petrarch
“Moments frozen in time”
The loveliest things … we hold dear to our heart
The freezing of moments … are framed just like art
The “circle-of-life” is a “circle-of-love”
The weaving of hearts … when two become one
The sharing of life … and days in the sun
Solemn vows spoken … “I’ll love you forever"
Heart-promises exchanged … a perfect treasure
Then JOY of parents … the gift of a child
New LIFE … endless SMILES … entirely beguiled
The scent of a baby is sweeter … than sweet
If blessed to have many then sweetness repeats
Children … running … and playing
Laughing … crying … and hugging
Learning … yearning … and reaching
Dreaming … growing … and leaving
Finding their place in our hearts
… Moments frozen in time …
Finding their place in the world
… Moments frozen in time …
Epiphanies & "300 Violins" Symphonies & catastrophes
… More moments to freeze …
For some solemn vows can be broken
“Forever” should not have been spoken
“Forever” ended yesterday
“I can no longer stay”
Happiness is NEVER two … minus one
Tell the man in the moon to darken the sun
Love was cut short … but time will go on
… Unfrozen …
“Sometimes I wish I never had to sleep. Sometimes I think that if I stay very, very still, if I never move at all, things will change. I think if I freeze myself I can freeze the pain. Sometimes I won't move for hours. I will not move an inch. If time stands still nothing can go wrong” ~ Tahereh Mafi
Some moments are frozen as ice
Catastrophes seem a rolling of dice
Fires & floods and hurricanes …
Famines & droughts … pray for food & rains
Tragedies strike … devastation remains
Tears are a balm ... not held to refrain
But press the shutter … and pause the pain
Because grief held inside is a runaway train
Death & loss have freezing powers
Like planes crashing into towers
Changing lives in briefest hours
… Time seems halted …
Against a glorious blue sky
Frozen in the mind's eye
Will the loss of a child or the loss of a spouse
Cause light and LOVE to leave your house?
Time can’t be halted … and grief can’t be rushed
A heart that is broken … cannot be un-crushed
For heroes and martyrs’ … lives NOT lost in vain
Their song will live on and their memory remain
… Frozen in time …
And then there are moments of healing & grace
“Not guilty” … “forgiven” …“cancer free - no trace”
There are so many moments that indeed can freeze time
Now in * “fem-to-second” time … I freeze to end this rhyme ;~)
We do not remember days, we remember moments.” ~ Cesare Pavese
“Moments frozen in time” … flow out these lines from "The Covering”
... If time could freeze …
I would paint forever pictures
Then frame them on the walls of my mind
Of all the people I love
Those who touched my heart … with their heart
Some for a lifetime and some for a day
Are kept my heart … and always will stay
… Moments frozen in time …

I have a Friend who abides with me
... but He is a Spirit you can’t see ...
He formed the earth and by name, knows each star
He’s ever so near … though he seems to be far
Our days & our times are held in His Hands
LOVE & Grace are the heart of His purpose & plans
This poem was inspired by and is dedicated to the “best of bees” @AliAnani for “Freezing Time”
https://www.bebee.com/producer/@ali-anani/freezing-time
And
@LisaVanderburg for her comment: “Frozen time moments … usually reserved for catastrophe or the birth of my children”
*“fem-to-second” time /one quadrillionth of a second.

If my words make you think … Great ;~)
As “iron-sharpens-iron” … I enjoy bantering with other BEES … your feedback is as “honey”
A glimpse of the “Bee” called “me” ;~)
My caring nature makes me an advocate. My curious nature makes me a “queen of questions” … but gifted with the ability to listen ;~) I am a woman of deep faith, a blessed mother, a voracious reader, a blossoming writer, a grateful person, and a lover of beauty … I treasure TRUTH, family, true friendships and my loyal clients ... enjoy traveling, learning, good movies, good wine and golf. I’m a “heart-to-heart” communicator.

You always say you are “no poet” .. but to me you are ;~)
Thank you for reminding me that .. Words are like water ..
Just like the sea, the waves are diverse consistently.
Every so often the water is quiet.
On different days the water is empowered.
Some of the time there's a calm.
On different occasions, there are waves so enormous
.. you would prefer not to go in by any stretch of the imagination
Words & Water have that kind of power.

Dear mentor spiritual Fay Vietmeier I say dear and not my dear because you aren't only spiritual mentor for me, but for many readers as well. I am relieved that you "reappeared" following the publication of your lovely poem. I am glad you were away for a good reason.

Lisa Vanderburg Truly Lisa … your response is equally moving & poignant … to “bring tears” with words … requires they fall on a receptive & tender heart “Set free” (this is the title that comes to me in these lines) I fear the wont of holding on…To me it is untrue. Should gripping fierce do stay my hand, I rather it be you. This is a poem waiting to be written ;~) Lisa

Oswaldo Enrique Diaz Delgado Oswaldo~ Thank you for your always thoughtful … poetic responses "Moments frozen in time" are “Sacred times” … “Sacred recognition's” “Time allows us to recognize, "Reach for the past & the present in our lives" … and I would add “Sacred reflections”
