Notes About The Poem

Crave

I wake 
each morning
with a craving
born of fear
as I watch
youth wither
and vanish
sands of time

So much
remains unsaid
and I ache
to set it free 
knowing time
will wait
for no one

Timothy Mcguire July 22, 2019 at 7:40 PM We all deal with that fear to one extent or another. Its good friend and family and the Lord above that helps us not to dwell there all the time. Line Gauthier July 22, 2019 at 9:22 PM We have to keep busy and get our projects done. Catch up for lost time.

Gershon Wolf July 21, 2019 at 6:56 PM I like this take on 'aches and pains.' The ones of which you penned are certainly preferable! :) gw Line Gauthier July 21, 2019 at 7:07 PM Agreed, Gershon This race against time is stressful enough without physical pain.
