No Time For Caution

Time moves forward Breakfast ordered Sunrise reveals a new day People scurry anxious worry Obstacles get in the way Memories measured Guarded, treasured In the midst of the dawn's hopeful rays Seasons changing rearranging Minds in perpetual daze No time for caution too close to the auction Our lot numbers soon will display Our main distraction too close to the action "Going once! Going twice!" as they say ... We've arrived at the end of the day ... Time to finish our final melee ... Contemplating our Fabergé egg April 21, 2023

Dear Mark, it’s a pleasure to partake of your excellent poetry for a change!:) I adore the cadence and cascade of intriguing imagery and awesome rhyming in your captivating lyric. The Faberge egg symbolic of rebirth is a clever finale for your exceptional poem. Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan P.S. loved the accompanying video too!
