Time Sequence

Time Sequence (5 seconds to start - 2 minutes to complete) 

There’s a time sequence that sweeps you away
Where are you going? No, when are you going
Is the question
That begs to be answered

This marking of the seconds
Is a tick tocking clocking
Of opportunity slipping
Sideways into tomorrow

Can you see it?
It’s the voice of unreason
Can you hear it?
It’s the image of a lost adventurer
Putting his oar to the water

Gone in the rise and fall of the waves
Lost in the tides of the sea
What comes tomorrow?
Who will answer me?

Wow, Corinne, what an amazing 2-minute verse! Your thoughts are so deep and that image of the "lost adventurer putting his oar to the water" is compelling. Life's journey! Great work! Love, Carolyn
