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!
