Forgotten Time
Time forever going forward into the snow
time wasted
seconds, hours spun out of fingertips
forever like snow into the dark
light falling on snow
dancing, glowing for one miraculous second
then drops away into the darkness behind
and see beautifull blooming things
flowers spinninglike the snowflakes
soaring totally free
stars streaking through the night
seconds, minutes, days
buoyed up in a bright place
the only light in a dark world
looks like a falling star
time and space blast away
like a universe forever expanding forward
leaving only darkness
darkness and the snow
This is found poetry from words I Chose out of the book Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
