Charles Rutherford Poet Free verse

Shortcoming

Face it
Race it
Erase it

Try no more
It faces me
It races
It doesn't stop

Only me
We wait
We see

It charges
You
Me
We all do
You saw

It developed
We were there
We knew it was developing

Before us
It must have
How could it not
As it began?

Duke Beaufort August 28, 2014 at 6:44 AM Hi Charles--thanks for your comment. Ah--shortcomings. I sometimes have to remember to forgive myself for my own. Your poem is a kind reminder to me and much appreciated. Sounds like you have heard the voice of experience!
