Time always Takes

by Maria Terezia Ferencz

trying so hard to catch time
time instead caught me
sneaking up behind
insiduously

silently
creeping
behind as I go

catching up each time
I thought I went slow

we our all caught
by the times left behind
and time always takes
our moments in time

Author's Note: Tempis Fugit....I hate your face....it haunts me.

I'd love to say ignore the varmint, as my face slowly sags, and my hands turn to knotty pine sticks. Ha!! It appears to catch us coming and going. Well done.
