Only Time Will Tell
Stu Harley Sep 2014
Each tick of the clock
A brief moment in time
Leaving us further behind
Wearing an old set of clothes
Only time will tell
Stu Harley Jun 2024
Love, a radiant star in life's vast sky,
It illuminates the path where shadows lie.
A gentle breeze that whispers through the trees,
Caressing hearts with every tender breeze.
A river flowing, deep and ever true,
Carving canyons of devotion anew.
A flame that dances, warm and ever-bright,
Dispelling darkness on the coldest night.
Love, a prism splitting sorrow's gray,
Paints rainbows on the canvas of each day.
Stu Harley Aug 2014
o realm of God
what exist
on the
otherside
void of
space and time
do worlds collide
where the laws of
physic breaks down
particles discovered or
disappeared  are
whimsical or strange
full of quarks
by their names
we called them
ups downs
charms and strange
lots of
dark matter
hangs around and
unbound scaffoldling
that lifts your feet
up off the ground

Words Have Power In Them
Stu Harley Jun 2013
These words
Are like javelins
We hurl them through
The eyes of the naked sky

All the mountains that we climb within
Words flush out the august light again

from the evil clutches of the
dragon who dwells in a
