I chase through the night, trying
to catch up with time
The evil taskmaster
that takes what is mine

With each step I take
the future becomes the past
I am not alone, I see others
all around me

Some I know and
have loved from my past
I see them weaken and stumble
before their time, and fall down in sleep

unable the pace to keep
Oh, but I know the sun will again rise
and though weary from my night of running
I open my eyes to mourn another day

"I seem to have missed your other recent posts. The sentiments are valid, and cleverly expressed, bringing the chasing each night through to the morning's (life's) repeat. A good piece."

NANA
"Can she just live forever. She's my best friend. You're not allowed to take her. She has to watch Dani grow up like she watched Trinity and I grow up. She needs to spoil Dani like she spoiled us. She needs to rub Danis face as she lays in bed with her at night. She needs to watch her grow up. She needs to see Trinity, Dani and I grow into beautiful women. She needs to get better. I love you with all my heart Nana. Kayla Marie"

"Can I ?" by @Ian.T
"Still, a softer side of you,. I do know what you mean though. I once wrote a poem about depression. SHADES OF GRAY, and some thought I was depressed. It was made up. Just like my fairies with gossamer wings. Linda"
