All the Sun Sets

".... could not stop for death - he kindly stopped for me - the carriage held just ourselves and immortality." Quote by _ Emily Dickinson The time to contemplate my life In carriage ride so slow Buildings, people, whizzing by On the track these wheels know The sun it rises and it sets Casts warmth upon my face The World it turns and turns With and without me held in place I journeyed long before this day Stay short if truth be told To some I am forever young To others forever old Final stretch into the Earth The yards of setting sun In a blink my journey ends Just as my life begun Writing Challenge - C Quotes - Poetry Contest 25th May 2023 Sponsored by: Constance La France

Nicely done DD, I have had many discussion with "death"...I think I make him squeamish

Thank you John - I imagine you'd perhaps wear a t shirt with 'death on a motorbike' (summer months of course) :)
