I don't know what the heck is going on in my head.........but this is one thing I was pretty sure I would never do. I was driving home from the glades photographing my billionth sunset.......not spectacular but loved every minute of it........another almost! Maybe it's the fact that I have been out there....countless times.......with more almosts than I can remember. Such is the life of a landscape photographer (which is why I took up birds an animals......higher success rate). They are never failures............although some would look at it that way.......I always look at it as a wonderful day out........trying to capture the most remarkable image I can........often times so close..........I can taste it. Maybe its the lack of sleep..........maybe it is yet another almost......these thoughts came to my head as I was driving back to my sister in laws house.....where family/smiling faces awaited....unaware of my almost......and I wrote them down. Not meant to be depressing......just enlightening to try........as I am here......something which I never thought I would........or maybe it's just the beer:D!
Here goes;
Time
Not friend or foe
Always Unyielding
Ridiculed and feared
Mostly ignored
Rich or poor
No man can buy it
Frivolously wasted
Yet held most priceless
Rushed in Youth
Reflected in twilight
Neither fast nor slow
Relentless all the same
How spent
Is its only reward
Ever silently approaching
More vainly pursued
Darkness imminent
It gives no quarter
After its passing
What will time tell?
