#14 - Swim Race

-

 

Deep breath, face the wall,

push off, kick.

Arms reaching, head down,

watch out for others, quick.

Almost there, four more laps,

this is the winning race.

But no, he’s catching up,

kick harder, match his pace.

Legs sore, arms even more,

head spinning, feeling faint.

Focus now, go straight,

no one cares about your complaint.

Come on, let’s hurry up,

one more lap, and you’re done.

See how fun! 

Touch the wall, get out the pool,

and you have won!

I hear the voices of my future, whispering through the mist.

Tonight the clock ticks for another hour before it’s death, and crumbles to specks of dust drawn into the sky ending Time himself, who vanishes off to a parallel universe.

#22- The Forest Between Us

-
  The silent woods are watching us, the magic forest’s charm. Life keeps us from the mountain’s rising peak. You stand there motionless, I wait for you, but you’ve long, long forgotten me. The silent woods are watching us. Across the forest, I call to you. But you have already drifted  far away from me.
