Poetry Prompt Challenge Book

time always running

time's always running
flowing flying away
where is its hurried destination
I don't know
time is running out
not running in
away from me
fleetly fleeing capture
as if one could keep it in a bottle
or freeze it in a frame
pictures-stolen moments
kept only in the imagination
time is swift
swifter than I am
