Taking Up Time (poem) by Erica Ivory on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on May 25, 2003

Yes another great write Erica .John Lennon
once said I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round .
Life is like a waiting room .
Isn't it?
We all come in and wait for that door to open . One day it surely will .

Erica,
sounds as if you are trying to nurture your inner sacred space..We all need that..Your soul is speacial and diffrent...That is why you need more sacred ground...Great spiritual insight!

Peace and harmony,
Dove

P.S thanks for your kind reviews..!

Erica
felt this so much
yes, it is like that sometimes, this life and we must hold onto that
"hope/thin as a string...."
as it is, at times...perhaps it will grow in weight, as you find, begin to find...as we all need to..
oh, this one got to me, my friend,
so well done, yes, so felt...
Love it, hoping that hope becomes stronger, becommes a rope, a post to hold, whatever...but, you've touched your truth and touched me with it..yes!!!!!!
xxoo

Dear Erica,
"Just taking up time..
Taking up space..
Breathing the air..
Waiting on fate.
To show me my place."
this is so good

You've lost your purpose in life if you are just waiting around and no one can get it back buy yourself. Good poem. I love that cartoon.

"Trying to stay out of lives". I identified strongly with that. In fact it appears we may be in the same boat overall if this is at all autobiographical.

erica,
know the feeling,
seems i spent most
of my life waiting--
to "grow up",
for the right time,
for something

all i van say is hang in there--
maybe it'll get interesting!

your poem captures the feeling very well -
good write
