quote by Phyllis McGinley (1905-1978)
“Time is the thief you cannot banish”
Eternity waits: Your end, tyrannish.
“Time is the thief you cannot banish.”
Days then weeks begin to vanish;
whole months stolen in a span
as your brain turns to bran.
You don't remember
whence December.
Who am I
to die?
Aye.

"Time is the thief you cannot banish."
Phyllis McGinley, Writer, 1905 - 1978
Time
Is but,
A theif too
Sly for its age,
Stealing away all the seconds in one's
Life, Making it shorter by each day, time
With stealth, begets
Eden in,
It's own,
Nest.

"Time is the thief you cannot banish."
Phyllis McGinley, Writer, 1905 - 1978
time
doesn't halt.
unconcerned
it steals the breath,
moments, and sunshine as it ticks onward.
still, the nights grow cold and the stars shiver,
summer goes and
winter comes,
days fade
out.

"Time is the thief you cannot banish"
Phyllis McGinley, Writer, 1905 - 1978
If
we use
each second
judiciously
just think what all we can do in a day!
If we are happy every moment, much
happiness we
can gather
in a
day!
~~~~~
No
one can
steal even
a second from
our life if we don't allow. Tomorrow
is uncertain, death again uncertain.
It is wise to
make the best
use of
time.

the sands flow steadily through the hour glass
can't be stopped~slowed
drifts grain by
slow grain
drips
goes
until
the chosen
end, emptied out
where the soul goes is up to your choosing
