Memories

Poem what in your daily life is going to leave you with lasting memories

Memories

Today slowly reaches towards tomorrow.
The inhabitants of today bustle,
Hurriedly preparing for the end.
Reading, shoving, dressing, reciting, teaching.
Tis a time for everything!", you hear some exclaim.
"Yet where has all the time gone?", I implore.
Strolling amongst the rustlers unknowing.
Alone, trying to slow the already languid hands of time
What does one do with so many choices and only two sides to a coin?
Why does every first choice not get a second chance?
Tomorrow now closing in on today,
Adding a new page to a rapidly filling book.
Of which so many pages are blank.
With so many questions I scan through the book.
Searching for the "lane" so talked about so hungered for..
But finding nothing but blankets of white and pages of unknown faces.
I resign myself again to the sentiments of these strangers.
