About Time
And about the time between life's glories;
The years of hours discarded from affectionate memory.
They may not be able to sate your dreams of grandiose
But weave them just so
And you may stem a seed of salubrity.
A well-worn road sees few a site to behold.
In traversing these knolls between goals;
Which were once titanic peaks to conquer,
It is easy to just count your steps.
But you need not look far or hard to see
A glaring vanity in memory.
Flecks of entropy display each day,
No matter how weary a mind.
Insignificant beauty sprouts
In the most benign nooks of your experience.
But don't scour to find, and squint your eyes:
Just search for a want for more
And trickles of satisfied moments
Shall gush unrequited wonder.
If a day is priced to spend your life,
Scour for every second.
All I know is I know not
Just how good it can get.
An image and a social
An image and a social commentary forms through the reading of this poem that brings both self reflection and an accurate summation of what surrounds us today. It also speaks to me about the state and trajectory of online (social platform) poetry. For some reason that is my personal takeaway, as if traversing an ever morphing desert landscape, all the while longing for the shore to show up on the horizon. Thanks for sharing.
