poem of the day December 12 

As time passes

it covers everything 

does not hesitate

never waits for anyone

Ready or  not

Here comes time

Non stop 

second after second

no holding it back

Some riders

stay atop the tiger

Others root and

let time break over

like waves washing seaweed 

Most though 

including me

at some point

get caught

in the trenches 

somewhere between  

past and future 

Hoping for a way

to hold on to the ladder
