Time

Reverb10 -- December 14 -- Appreciate

Prompt: What's the one thing you have come to appreciate most in the past year?
How do you express gratitude for it?

The Passage of Time


i have passed minutes watching clocks
hearing each dull echoing tick
counting down the time
until i would be freed.
i had more money then
though never much.
i lost more sleep 
lived a lot of 
buts.
i
have
lost 
friends
and seen
many suffer
during this year.
i can no longer deny that
 our time is not guaranteed.
i am grateful for each breath
that enters my lungs. now days pass
and i'm too busy to mark them. i smile 
  lost in thoughts and wandering new roads.
