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. written December 16, 2021 HONORABLE MENTION WINNER ART Prompt Poetry Contest All Poetry Contest, December 18, 2021

How delicate you write this "Will soon slip silently away in a story" - the imagery entices me toward a new poem.

Go for it, Caren. I'd be delighted any time you use one of my images. That would be quite a compliment.
