 Fall BackFall 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 Nan Ness |

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~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

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