    Time Slips Away

    Another dawn, another day.
    Whatever shall I do today?
    Something grand? Something gay?
    Hurry up -- time slips away.

    When you’re young, life seems like play.
    And then your dreams, they go astray.
    Time flies by to your dismay.
    You will learn fast -- time slips away.

    There are rules you must obey
    even when you’re old and grey.
    So if you’re young, don’t delay.
    Don’t forget -- time slips away.

    This one rolls by, fast and breezy, except for time, it just slips . . . . Harv

    Glad you liked it! I'm posting about one a week. I started this about 10 months ago and have published a volume thru Lulu.com; it's now available on Amazon.com.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
