Don't want to go out like a stagnant pond but cutting my way to the sea..

Acceptance of one's life ebbing
Slowing to a halt grinding still
Let not life ebb but end running
Acceptance of one's life ebbing
Not drip drop_pitter pat but rushing
forward with force; carving through hills
Acceptance of one's life ebbing
Slowly to a halt grinding still 

In honor of Brian Strand.
Contest:Any Verse..
Looked up verse..
Triolet is considered verse

Judy Ball Date: 9/27/2011 5:37:00 PM Nicely done Sarah. I've always said that I'm going to go full tilt until I just run out of gas one day and drop. Then they can do whatever they like with what's left because I won't be there anymore. I just believe that you should live each moment as though it were your last because it just might be. Then, when you are gone and all that is left behind but your memory, what will people remember. Great job here. God Bless, JB Login to Reply

Gwendolen Song Date: 9/27/2011 7:26:00 AM Which state fair is that, Sara? Nice idea for a trip. Regarding this maturely written triolet, wow! I often feel the same about my own aging. The best is yet to come and I don't want to slow down...yet...speed up so I don't miss a single thing. Have a great day, gurl! Running our race with patience. Login to Reply
