It’s so quiet everything sounds as a thud
The sky is ominous and dark
Everyone here has their own mark

The sun has begun to rise
It makes me feel so alive
This sunrise is much too strange
It moves so fast and not arranged

It moves to the middle of the sky
I feel I’ve reached my peak, my high
I’m aging I realize, upset
What if the sun soon sets?

The sun moves to set
All I feel is regret
My skin starts to wrinkle and whither
I realize life is nothing more than a sliver

And oh how I did waste my sliver
It flowed by so fast as if a river
Now the moonlight appears
As my old body stands to fears

The moonlight shines down so round
Pointing at my body in the ground
People appear, how infernal!
Then I realize I stand at my funeral

Sliver of Time

Contributed by Channing on Friday, 9th September 2005 @ 07:31:57 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

Every step leaves tracks in the mud
It’s so quiet everything sounds as a thud
The sky is ominous and dark
Everyone here has their own mark

The sun has begun to rise
It makes me feel so alive
This sunrise is much too strange
It moves so fast and not arranged

It moves to the middle of the sky
I feel I’ve reached my peak, my high
I’m aging I realize, upset
What if the sun soon sets?

The sun moves to set
All I feel is regret
My skin starts to wrinkle and whither
I realize life is nothing more than a sliver

And oh how I did waste my sliver
It flowed by so fast as if a river
Now the moonlight appears
As my old body stands to fears

The moonlight shines down so round
Pointing at my body in the ground
People appear, how infernal!
Then I realize I stand at my funeral

That is a very intense poem. Very good imagery with words. A ghost at their own funeral, wow. I mean what if that really does happen? Your poem really gets me thinking of the possibilities.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
