The Days
The days are slowly, or are they quickly, escaping us.
Yet another one arrives upon yesterday's dust.
Like our naive belief another day will forever be.
Never a doubt a tomorrow existed for me.
One day it won't.
Arrive.
And our troubles continue to agonize
behind a smile draped with truth dipped lies.
And through the air a yelping cry
and a piercing whistle.
Caught between the breeze's orgasmic tremble.
The day resembles a dire nostalgic peak.
Nature's pertinent peaceful chatter speaks.
Bestowing an urgent message.
Abandon expectation's eye.
Live before you die.
For the days are escaping you and I.

oh so true. Preach on sister Deb! This poem is beautiful. Words flow gracefully as each sentence discovers the other. The piece is breathtaking like all of your writes. Nice work!

I was thinking of Virginia Woolf's book The Hours. The days, the hours are all we have and they are guaranteed to not last forever. Was just trying to say don't take them for granted. That was so extremely nice what you wrote. Really, too kind.

I've heard of Woolf but I don't know much of her writings.
I'm kind when the poem or the person deserves it. You my friend, deserve it!

Re. The Days
As what the others noted,
Each lines seem to be talking to me so fluently reminding me to not take each day for granted.
I agree...
Beautiful poem.

Your full stop with Arrive.
Fucking amazing. Jarred me out of the safe zone the poem’s rhyme scheme dipped me in, and redirected my attention to the double meaning.
This was a fabulous cautionary tale, and you executed the shit out of it.

Wow Betty. Thank you ever so much.
I appreciate the hell out of you.

I feel so happy when I can touch someone with writing!
Love ya 💜
