Deborah Horton Writing

Staying only a while
short brief fleeting
here then gone
forever moving

Past long gone
future not arrived
present counted in
only seconds

Each one small
gone in a blink
wasted on so much
frivolity

Once gone
never to return
lost in the sea
of what was

attend to the
here and now
before it is
lost and forgotten

Once gone it
can never be
repeated
time
