Fall Back



Fall Back today, Fall Back they say
We'll have one extra hour
To wile away, howe'er we may
For each the option ours

If you could choose, with naught to lose
An hour to live again
Follow your muse, and have no rues
Return to where and when

A time you'd find you could rewind
And have another chance
To redesign ways left behind
The course of happenstance

What would you do, for life anew
To quell incumbrous strife?
To take your cue from yester's view
And change that hour of life?

Turn back the clock -  past times are locked
Fall Back one hour tonight
Arise to walk in wisdom's talk
Best tend to morrow's rite

Then borrow some from time to come
Of future's heedful hours
Affect the sum of life undone
For destiny is ours

If from the past we've learned at last
Time wisely spent instead
As hours pass, life's play's recast
Fall Back then Spring Ahead






Waft every crest upon your destined sea
Embrace the Wave of Serendipity
Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy
Refurl with sail for all eternity

Nanners~
LOVE the poem .. and the 'timely' reminder~

But, shuckie-poo ... I just hate losing my extra hour of daylight in the late afternoon~
I'd settle for Daylight Savings YEAR ROUND !

Thankee, lady~

Nan, I love this.  How perfect the meter, the rhyme, the wisdom of each line.  I am going back for another read this minute.

Nan,
Another hour to have with you
Now that would be a coup.
