Notes About The Poem

Written for Poetry Day 3rd Oct 2024 - Theme, Counting

Counting Days

Counting Days

     In how many ways do I count the days
     Those passing golden days we said were ours,
     The warm  bright days and the slow dulled days
     The eternal rhythm of passing  hours.

     Those familiar travelled paths and ways,
     The greeting and reluctant parting time,
     The lost numbers of the forgotten days
     Calm days of unchronicled silent time.

     Mist shrouded days; days that are sharp and clear,
     The  unlisted quiet and the busy time,
     The memory visited far past years
     The doing nothing and the resting time.
