Hourglass

How much time is left

I ponder on it often

unhealthy pursuit

Lifebelt

On the horizon

reduced hours, then retirement

getting my life back

Act 2023

Lights fade to zero

actors exit, scene changes

all the world’s a stage

Undecided

An audio book

for multitasking ‘reading’

I feel like a cheat

Who’d have thought it

The boy turned twenty

how on Earth did that happen?

too fast the years pass

Never enough time

.

Too short the weekend

and a new week on the way

acceleration

Compression

.

Between work and bed

there are simply too few hours

and then tomorrow

Acceleration

.

Too fast time passes

the short days merge into one

I am left behind

.

Slowly

.

Uncomplicated

a life lived in the slow lane

minimum effort

.

by Scooj

Ending

.

Palliative care

a quiet and somber time

we watch the sands drain
