Time

Time- there’s too much and not enough

No matter if the water’s rough

Or how much you sit down and pray

Today will soon be yesterday

Even if you live with great care

There’s little time to stop and stare

Memories will soon wash away

Today will soon be yesterday

When you’re intent on taking stock

But feeling with your heart is blocked

Things you’ve touched and loved go away

Today will soon be yesterday

Time is free but also priceless

Soon it’s gone into the abyss

Tomorrow will soon be today

Today will soon be yesterday

One response to “Time”

    I love your opening line: “Time- there’s too much and not enough”. It is so true that we can feel both ways about time. Your poem definitely conveyed the feeling of time rushing on.
