A poem that I wrote about time.

Lost in the river,

Drowning.

Come hither,

O spirits of the flowing

Time, consuming, enveloping all

As a bird consumes insects.

You know when all will fall,

Like shoddy derelicts,

I beseech you,

Give me the answer,

Tell me who

Holds the key.  Is it truly as a river?  Flowing?
