Slip-sliding Away...

PAD Challenge day 22: For today’s prompt, write a release poem.

Rain slips from windows

Leaf slips from tree

Time slips into

A memory

Youth slips so swiftly

Into by and by

Darling, thought’s hunger

Oft slips from my eye

Like rain from a window

Like flowers that fall

Like touch, as you heed to

Life’s beckoning call

I hear lost summers

As winter-song slips

Into the trembling

Of tired fingertips

Want slips in whispers

Where echoes must be

Caught in a river

Released to a sea

Ah, where is that sea

To which all moments slip?

Fueling forevermore

Drip
