POEM STARTER

Awakening

Write a poem about an awakening - it could be literal or metaphorical.

Awakening

Time seemed infinite

I thought I had more


Now the end is imminent

And its shaking me to my core


It’s unimaginable

How its coming so soon


It’s unfathomable

And I don’t know what to do


Everyone seems one step ahead

I do my best to match their pace


But all too quickly my mind fills with dread

The future is approaching me with a blurred face


The path seemed simple

The path seemed hopeful


Now I’ve realized as I write

The time I thought I had is quite finite.
