My life clock
moves in slower pace
than in days past,
though by the same token,
moves faster
with each that passes.
And I am left
to wonder,
to reflect
at the current hour
of my existance...
Have I done,
all I wished to do?
Have I seen,
all I wished to see?
Have I said,
all I wished to say?
And I wonder too...
is it too late
to reach my pinacle,
to scale all the mountains
I have longed to scale?
Am I only left standing here
at this bottom,
seeking to view the peaks
I haven't yet climbed?
Is there yet,
a chance
to attain the heights
I have so long
wished to reach?
Can I overtake the passages
of time
before its too late?
Or am I already
half past my dreams
and lying in wait,
at a quarter to
my midnight hour?
