Measuring time
Like money
It’s running out
Wasting away
Slowly fading
Handle with care
Frugally spend
Syllabic Verse

Syllabic Verse
Like a fading leaf
I wonder as I age
And detach from life
On my aged tree
Just what the end will be
I am trusting and
Praying that God’s angels
Catch me when I fall
Asleep on this earth
And like the wind
Gently take me up
To my eternal home
Where I will live on
In the God’s presence
On His Tree of Life
Syllabic Verse
#OctPoWriMo Day 16
Each day you were here
Your presence
Envoked me to cheer
But now I’m trading
Cheer away
Fragrance fading
Color growing dim
Life ebbing
Losing all your vim
I am losing you
Never more
To be within view
With a tear in my eye
My sweet rose
I bid you goodbye
Your petals I’ll keep
As they fall
Like tears I weep
Rhymed Syllable Lunes
Wildflowers fading
Gone are the Trilliums
Spring ephemerals
Haiku
June you bring such beauty
Time quickly steals
Haiku
