Contrast (National Poetry Writing Month 2025 #22)   Leave a comment

Time flies by so fast
Eye-blink by eye-blink
I feel the days, the years, the months go by
But it also feels as if time drags on
Second by second
Moments never end

Memories get jumbled
Moment by moment
Until I can't tell my dreams from my past
But they also are defined in crystal
Facet by facet
Reflecting my life

Life is a contrast
Color by color
A whirling storm of endless potential
Until, as it must, it finally calms
Raindrop by raindrop
Meeting the same end

– SR Romney 2025
