The Time Must Come! Poem by Dorsey Baker

The man
His old face wrinkled and
Wet with tears
Gazes out of his foggy window
As it begins to rain
His thoughts
Sink deep
Into recollection!
His heart heavy
And so full of sadness
His body almost weightless
As the bones begin to
Stick out through the
Very thin very dry skin
Starts to uncontrollably
Shake all over!

Flashback
Remembering
Handsome active in sports
Lots of pretty girls
Party all night
Morning hang overs!
So much energy
Never seems to run out!
Eternal youth!
The man
Now old aged
Sooner or later
Everybody finds out
That
The time must come!
