Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Time Left

the countdown
unstoppable
steady gallop
not altered
by one iota

the sprint
as days numbered
turn inward
with introspection

reevaluating
how to spend
the time left

the needs
to fulfill
consummate
immortalize

M. L. Kiser March 26, 2019 at 10:27 AM It's funny how we get more introspective as time passes and one day we realize that it's still passing us by way too fast. Lovely pen. Line Gauthier March 26, 2019 at 1:09 PM Indeed and time just flies by.
