November 2014 Poem-A-Day Chapbook Challenge: Day 22







Release your grip on time, you cannot stall
Its flying hands, the movement always clock-
Wise, up and round they go, accept this fall
For what it is – a gift, the soft tick-tock
Of moments trickling down November trees
The whoosh of passing days scooped up by geese
And carried south, away, without a trace
Accept those clock hands and they will refrain
From their sole purpose, so they could embrace
And hold you for a heartbeat, then again
They will resume their constant sweeping flight
From dawn till dusk, from darkness back to light.



Live for the Love of it,
Sasha A. Palmer (a.k.a. "Happy")
