Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

The Time We Are Given

these days our world seems
to crumble all around us
there's been a time warp
a glitch in the fabric of the universe
shaking the walls of our beliefs

to the depths of our silence
it's the truths that seem
to ring the loudest over yonder
we'll survive and for it will be stronger

no we'll never be the same
blindsided in our vulnerabilities

if nothing else~
we'll never take for granted
the tomorrows of our life
