Time When did this happen to me? I’ve been aware of the eventuality Overtaking me from afar Like a slowly rising tide Like a fogbank rolling in To swallow me up But always from a distance And never an immediate concern Now, in a blink, it seems It has caught me The affliction of time Not old age, though that too Starts to loom There In the distance Not an immediate concern But the age that drapes you Like a threadbare cloak Like a patina of rust The age when young men No longer fear you Yet, you fear no one The age when young women No longer desire you Yet, your desire is undiminished This thing now challenges me To garner a new respect To find a new romance Using the very tools That time has given me While wearing its’ raiment ~wranx "Writing is a perfectly natural thing to do....just remember to wash your hands afterward"....Heinlein. |

Well I liked this poem alot because my uncle just passed away and I felt like this poem described how alot of my family felt, because we felt it wasn't his time yet to go and I felt like the time I did have with him was very special and something I can always cherish. thanks for sharing this piece.

Great job, wranx. Luckily, the fog hasn't come in yet for me ... but it's inevitable, isn't it? Thanks for showing me what I have to look forward to.  Love yr writin'. These smiling eyes are just a mirror for the sun. |

Very good. Though nothing should be allowed to make me think at this time in the morning... Hm. Feel my angsty reachiness! |

Simply inspirational to the enscribing desire! Excellent use of simile in a most poignant way! I did engross myself in this one. |
