Quickly quickly,no time to look back and not a second to lose! Hurry along as fast as you can and keep both eyes ahead. Say goodbye to relics of the past and hello to new things of the future. Waste no moment with thoughts of should’ve, maybe, if only.
The clock is ticking, every instance becomes the future and the present turns to past. Later? No it’s now and now is has flown behind you. Run with all your might but it’s not fast enough. Don’t look back, looking back only slows you down.
No sense in looking at the clock, times almost up. Slow your pace, take a deep breath, let your thoughts gather and your heart come to a stop. Look around, look behind you, now ahead of you. You were so busy trying to get ahead that you forgot to take your time, now there’s no going back.
Love the last two lines. Very thought provoking. Makes me want to make the best of my present time. =) HAven’t done mine yet. NEed some brainstorming and inspiration. I’m still stuck. haha =) Nice piece.

Thank you gilian 🙂 I feel like we all should take time to cherish what’s around us because time flies. It’ll come to you before you know it!

This is great. I think the clock added to the poem. Time waits for no one, and until we learn that we will keep letting it pass us by.

Sure, the clock ticks away waiting for no one. There is no time to waste on the past but to keep moving on with the present. Thank you for this reminder, again. 🙂
