At The Finish Poem by Sonya Florentino

At The Finish

Rating: 5.0


Can't keep up with the dust
Can’t get rid of the rust
Can’t run faster than fast
Can’t keep time in a glass
Dreams go by in a blink
Disappear in a wink
Every star in the sky
Just a dream in the night
And if all things shall pass
Surely sadness comes last
Crying at the finish...

The ending finished in a sad note. That also can be managed to be joyful. Nice poem.

sadness or understanding? Denial or acceptance? I don't know, but, I think I can see where time leads. :) N

..... surely sadness comes last.......; and it is last to go, very slowly, like a slow motion movie and mind you, dear, the taste lingers on and on......! Lovely poem, sonya!
