What's It Going To Be

Time flies.
Unrelenting.
Unseen by most people. 
Felt by those paying attention.
Time speeding up
Same few hours, same minutes
Faster

Time lies.
Things you thought known, 
Memories you have stored.
Different than they occured.
If stored at all.
Deep down in the archives,
Fragments

Time cries
Unheard knocking
Sailed ships float abandoned
Opportunities untaken
Destiny changed
Altered by decisions
Wrong turns.

It's time
Never too late
Forget the past- it's gone
Live in the moment- seize your dream
Finish your book
With a  grande finale
Your way. 

Right now
This very moment
Don't dare procrastinate
Tomorrow is not guaranteed!
Your legacy
Depends on you today
Time flies.

Telling it like it is, Jacquline. Time is a favorite subject of mine and my nemesis. I love this one!
