Out of Reach

Time is ticking away
it's just dripping away
the day's slipping away
and we've got to choose

go
or stay

The time
our time
is flying out the
forever open
window

Alighting out of reach
irretrievable
in a place we've dubbed the past

a place
we should attempt to hinder
in it's soul past-time
of sucking seconds from our
so far undecided
future

We as a people
need to seize the present
if we want to recruit the past
and make the most
of every waking minute

Patience may be a virtue
but in the end
waiting for what you want
will only serve to hurt you.
