Bob Quigley Poet Couplet

Life In a Glass

The sum of years raced past her eyes
Faces, places, loved, despised 

Tender feelings, broken hearts
Lies unspoken, well played parts

All collected in this glass
With amber liquid mixed, alas

The burning feeling had begun
Her thoughts appraising what she'd done

On her cheek, a single tear
Her vision blurred, but her mind clear

Prepared to leave it all behind
There, in a glass, a life defined
