"Time"

Entered in contest by ink empress

Time, once our friend, now scorns all attempt to remember those days that flew freely Never knowing one day we'd be exempt from carefree days, which were but fantasy our daydreams only today's reverie Time waits for no one : as said in a song and each day, we realize these words more For time, like the wind, has hurried along with moments we can no longer explore nor visit yesterday's once-open door

Hi Ann. I know you have mentioned below in the comments that you like the last verse better but I have to say that I love your opening two lines even more. It perfectly sets the scene for me. I really enjoyed the read and good luck in the contest. As a side The Moody Blues sang a song called ‘Driftwood’ that contained the line “ Time waits for no one..”. :). Cheers - Gary

Hi Gary! Thanks so much for your comments! I feel better now. I don't like to depict time as an ogre (although it is :). Still, I know we both like to write about Time's passing and I value your comments. Take care and send us some rain.

Dear Ann, This is an excellent poem with its introspective reflection on the passage of time. It reminds us of the fleeting nature of moments and the importance of cherishing the present. Your words are a gentle yet powerful comment to live in the moment and embrace each day with gratitude. I hope that you win! - Blessings, Daniel

Dear Daniel, Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I'm so glad you like it. In rereading the poem, I had begun to feel it was a bit harsh.
