Reflections

Rushing

These years are flying by like days

Faster now, going down

Over and over the edge we fall

So far down into the core

These shores may be broken

But the water flows here just the same

So long now

Wearing down

Over and over again

One day we may fall

Remain one

Through it all

One day I will die

Remain strong and one

Through it all

Memories once so solid and clear

Turn to mist as they fall

This is the curse of our time

Caught in the current of life

Here in the surf

The cresting waves

I wallow in time

Counting the days

We all are lost

We are ablaze

Here on the shore

Watching the waves

Life in fast forward

My experience of time

Frantically, wistfully

Wish I could have another look

A second try

And hit rewind
