Hours Lost

This free verse poem describes how fleeting each day is.

The sun is up

The day is bright

So is my future

I can see it all

"I've got many hours ahead of me"

I say

I know I'll achieve my dreams today

But everything hits me

Distractions, My schedule, Life

I've got a lot to do...

Like an eroding sandbank

Whose ground is quickly lost

My time is taken away

Never to be recovered

Let me rest

I don't feel like it

I'll do it tomorrow...
