Lifetime Poem by Rebecca Navarre

Lifetime

Rating: 5.0


The sound of the tractor, and the old shed
coming down. Watching the plow as it went around.
Theres dew on the wheat, and frost on the ground.
Another season is coming, though it makes no sound.
Deep in the dark, In the light of the day. Time is
here and then slips away. I awake and then close my
eyes and suddenly a lifetime has gone by. Shut them
again, as it sinks in...Like the chill of the wind. As
it blows out the candle..screaming life is sacred..With
time you can't gamble. March turns to April and May into
June, and August is a reminder, change is coming round soon.
And as I reach for September, October went by.. Gasp for a
deep breath and long for a sigh. Lost in the flow...I surrender
to the tide.
