This Time Soliloquy

Cast
what’s left 
of your net
faithfully out
inquisitively into life’s river .

This time draw it's fill slowly back to shore,
taking great care
which treasures
you should
keep.

If only we knew this when we were young, maybe it should be "I" but you pack a wallop in these wise few words. An amazing write Robert!

You have used this form to write a thing of beauty and wisdom. I am sure it is a high winner. In answer to your comment. I live on the west side of Washington State off the coast the Pacific. We are warmed by the air off of the ocean. We seldom have snow here and it only lasts for a day or so, if it comes at all. Eastern Washington on the other side of the mountains does get snow and lots of it at times. Joyce
