Who better to confront time's tyranny then the poet? Who worse ... ?





on the edge of tomorrow
below the escarpment
of night thrust into the
vortex of time,
past and passing


drifting down the stream
driven by a force greater
then gravity
implacable
relentless:
driving
to distraction
to dissipation
to excellence

straining
in the face of disaster
disaster to describe

the poet

"on the edge of tomorrow" it seems to be a poet's dwelling place. I enjoy reading poetry that leaves me thinking, pondering, and then thrusts a pen in my hand. Good job!

I always enjoy when poem makes me think about life and, in this case, the tyranny of time. Very well done.
