“The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy.” — Meryl Streep


moments pass in the blink

of an eye

and just like that, a

memory dies

today feels short and

tomorrow, nigh

grasping a moment is do,

or die

but only when wasted,

time seems to fly

each day coming is

another goodbye.

I wrote this piece to try and capture the helpless feeling one has when they realize time is going by too fast.

It seemed funny to me that the sunset she saw from her patio and the one I saw from the back steps was the same one. Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren't so different. We saw the same sunset. ― S.E. Hinton, The Outsiders

you managed to capture the concept of time in a mere twelve lines. that is really impressive not to mention your writing is beautiful!
