I was editing last week’s Wordless post when this little
child of a poem skipped up and tagged me. I chased it till I ran out of breath.
Brevity
Oh, the moments
How they fleet
Up and down the windy street
Chasing rainbows
In the rain,
Weaving daisies in a chain
Gentle nights to
Count the stars,
Catching fairies in a jar
Sweeping leaves
Into a heap
Close your eyes and take a leap
Hold a snowflake
Breathe a cloud
Singing carols for a crowd
Rock a baby
Wipe the tears
Fingerprints and chocolate smears
Chase the hours
Catch the day
Hold the years before they fade
Oh, the moments
How they fleet
Wrapped inside a winding sheet
~ Nib of Nib's End ~
