POEM STARTER

Submitted by Cheyenne King

Describe a moment in life which seems to last forever.

You could write this as a poem or story, or as a descriptive paragraph.

4 Years

1461 days

Feels like forever,

Is covered in the desire for the end of the endeavor

Plans flow like a calm brook in a forest,

Gently and smooth, absolutely fearless


Then 1095 days

Memories of the days prior linger

We glance back and think that now we must be mature.

Yet,

Still there’s more to come,

Hopeful, we start to run.


Now 703 days

The questions pour in-

Where? When? Who? How? Why?

Now is the time to make mistakes…

Now is the time to reach for the sky.

But It’s creeping up closer-

The feeling of goodbye.


365 days left

It’s racing

Flying

Pushing and pulling

Make a choice

Pick a direction,

And think about your old clouded perception.

We thought we had time

Thought we knew it all,

How fast it went.

Blinked.

And we’ve made it to the end

Our lives completely changed.
