Poem
Too deeply I think, 
crashing around in my mind
Old age....Approaching death, 
desperation to find
Lost time, old friend
your keeping, a wonder
Moments I've missed and forgotten, much longer
Time I once knew, where you went 
hiding under.
Holding me hostage, for knowledge I hunger
I try to recall, why they are lost
I assumed my disinterest, back then, wouldn't cost
My old friend; lost time  
Hear me beg, see me crawl
I will listen, please tell me  
I loved life, overall
Answering my need, time appears I can feel 
My loss is as strong, as the voice I hear real;
"On your side I was there, 
not waiting but creeping
Slowly each tick, your clock is now weeping 
Think back if you can and are able to see
I was always there giving,
great moments were free
Don't beg for more time, I was squandered for speed 
You were quick, didn't look back
thought of only, 'your' needs" 
Clearly I heard, these words in my head 
Etched deep inside, softly I said;
"I hear you old friend", understanding at last.  
"My moments of you, are forever my past"
"Into hiding each went, time slipped away
I didn't embrace or invest, 
life's time to play"
"My time wasn't lost, just taken too swift
No more chances, no do-overs
seems I wasted your gift"
"The end of my journey soon 'will' arrive
I just can't leave yet, feeling robbed and deprived"
A thought then occurred, 
I stood absolute
Deciding to act, to continue pursuit.
Maybe with luck, perseverance and will
I can salvage whats left, my time to fulfill
Teach myself to appreciate, value time a new way 
Understand life's existence, 
what we have...how we pay 
To 'just see' moments, as thoughts I've contrived
Is not enough presence, fulfillment can't thrive
I will, make a change. Choose deed over mind
Never again, opt out or be blind  
I'll be part of life's play, satisfied in my climb
In the end kick my heels, saying;
"Thank's life! I had a great time".







                 ...The End
