Jolted By Twilight Poetry Competion
Sponsor- Dilly Dally
Behind me, I hear,
The receding roar of years.
It sends chills down my spine.
For me, no more springing steps,
But a fast- withering torso,
So awkward and unsure.
I look on to the track ahead,
As the race winds down
And the final turn in sight.
I am jolted by the twilight seeping into my life.
Once my life has been a round of cheer.
But no more can I cling onto those days so dear.
I am an autumn leaf turned red,
And about to shed.
As the world goes wheeling through,
Somehow, I am pushing through,
Waiting for that tightening grip,
Of an unknown caller’s powerful fist!
With the sunset, after the twilight fades
Will I be able to rise up in crimson glory?
