Time, It So Cleverly Slips Away

Time, It So Cleverly Slips Away Time slipped, slipped into the sunset mist looking back, I saw only half done list There was that trip to a green island shore never arrived there, missed so much more! Time raced, quickly raced so very far away Looking back, heart sinks into dismay There was her hand, that touch forever gone never gotten, was her sweet love alone! Time fled, fled into that bitterly dark sorrow looking back, heartache eats tomorrow There was love, gathered at such a dear cost never gotten, greatest treasure now lost! Time, time why ever did you dare race me? The faster I chased, the faster you did flee! R.J. Lindley May 9th, 1990 Note- today found out she passed away. Never got to say goodbye Time cheated me, it shall now pay.. Old note presented with old poem because it reminds me the insanely foolish battle I wanted while still drunk on whiskey!
