The Day Slipped Away
I watched
as the day slipped fast away.
The cold set a chill
frosting the dew upon the grassy hill.
The birds and squirrels were wide awake
in the trees and branches as they shake.
In the background rose a pale white sun
hovering in the white puff clouds on blue rungs.
Quiet came the mid afternoon
and I watched as winter began to loom.
Seasons change as weather predicts
as if mother nature gives her fingers a click.
There, hiding in the shortened shadows
lies the seconds and hours the day only borrows.
I watched without a word
as the day slipped to night unheard.
