So Blessed

PAD Challenge day nine: For today’s prompt, take the phrase “So (blank),” replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem.

Time roars through us

Our skin like shores

Cupping strange, phantom seas

Where glorious

And gloomy pours

From yon to yore with ease

So much to see,

So much to do

So little life, it seems

That sometimes we

Feel torn in two

By duty and daydreams

The more we live

The less we know

Of what we thought we knew

The more we give

The less we owe

When this 'hello' is through 

Eternity's

Tsunami, dear

Is closing in with haste

Where memories

Weave Now and Here

Into no time to waste

How happy is

The heart that learns

Within Time's quickened quest

A humble bliss

Where no returns

Can keep us oh, so blessed
