Joseph May Poet Free verse

Time

Seconds are ticking by swiftly
 In the eternal song of time,
With the rhythm of each moment
 The clock begins to sigh

 Its hands are set in motion
 Never to go back,
 The present ever fleeting
 And the haunting of the past

 There are infinite possibilities 
 Each day bestows on us
 We must seize them quickly
 Before procrastination steals them
