I HEAR THEM WHISPER

What time remains

I HEAR THEM WHISPER

 

Time is sumptuous

shadows follow me

scattered years remain

I hear them whisper

“Do not squander

precious measures survive”

 

I tremble from dismay

what is the span?

I must articulate my farewells

to all I cherish

 

Alone, sans famille

I ought to explore

what the universe

bestows upon me

 

Cumulus clouds move with my rhythm

at times sluggish, or haste

sun swathes me with energy

in season I ogle the sway

of dark green leaves

the buzz of bumble bees

kaleidoscope of flower gardens

butterflies skip among them

gentle breeze kisses my lips

 

I square all debts

in my time

straight off if my clock halts

my life shan’t be futile

Bravo, live in the moment, for time and these days are fleeting and few. Make sure regrets are less and apologies are plenty. And be in awe of children laughing in joy. CLE
