BFF #122 — TIME-TRAVELING — Blogging For Fun/”Time Traveler”

TIME-TRAVELING
I wonder where they go,
those minutes and hours
that slip by me so
as yesterdays
so quickly become
fleeting wisps
of memories today
as reaching back
I try to grasp them
and quickly jot them down
before they slip
away and forever lost.
Shreds of paper,
faded napkins,
torn edges left behind,
frayed notebooks,
remnants all
of what was
and lingers still
within those places
reserved for such things.
I wonder where they go,
those minutes and hours
that pass me by so fast
that before I even know it
the day’s already done
and I’m left wondering
and traveling between
the then and now
and reaching for
tomorrow’s new day
as I hum a tune,
say a prayer,
smell a flower,
say I’m sorry,
and remember once again
how thankful I am
for yet another day.
