Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Drawn In Sand

how quickly the days of our lives
scamper in their haste
racing in a sprint to scurry
across illusive finish lines

M. L. Kiser December 20, 2019 at 12:00 PM The do indeed, good luck in the contest. Line Gauthier December 20, 2019 at 12:28 PM Thanks, ML. Much appreciated.

Timothy Mcguire December 19, 2019 at 5:52 PM Wonderful, and so true. That is why I think it is important to tell our family and friends we love them. The ones who are close and the ones far away. For we never know when circumstances change. I would feel terrible if I failed to tell folks that they are important to me. Line Gauthier December 19, 2019 at 6:45 PM Very wise, Timothy. Thanks for your lovely visit and excellent advice.

Lin Lane December 19, 2019 at 8:51 AM If only we could gather the knowledge to be able to slow time, but that is impossible. You're right about those illusive finish lines. Once one is crossed, there's always another, and we're off. Good verse, Line. Well wishes in the contest. Line Gauthier December 19, 2019 at 6:46 PM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Lin.

Caren Krutsinger December 19, 2019 at 1:50 AM You have nailed my life in a nutshell! Line Gauthier December 19, 2019 at 8:45 AM It's hard to get away from that unless we become a recluse.

Gershon Wolf December 18, 2019 at 3:32 PM So true, even frighteningly so sometimes. As they say: Treat every day as if it is your last! :) gw Line Gauthier December 18, 2019 at 7:13 PM Best way to live. Thanks, Gershon.
