L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Lady In My Future

She stares longingly into the future
While she sits atop shifting sands,
Reminding me of an unlikely venture
Time enjoys in many far-away lands.
She, present in wonder-clad glory,
Will soon slip silently away in a story
But I shall tip the hourglass over to see
What will become of her in our history.

Caren Krutsinger December 17, 2021 at 7:40 AM How delicate you write this "Will soon slip silently away in a story" - the imagery entices me toward a new poem. L Milton Hankins December 17, 2021 at 8:58 AM Go for it, Caren. I'd be delighted any time you use one of my images. That would be quite a compliment.
