Out Of Hearing Distance Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Time does not await,
For those who stay...
Emotionally in one place.
Accepting stale negativity.

'It is best to leave the past,
Where it is to leave it fast.'
Words heard from fading voices.
Voices fading to have made,
Better choices.to leave decay.

But so many out of hearing distance,
Believe for them it is never too late.
And time affords them to create escapes.
With choices hesitated to decide to make.

Time does not await,
For those who stay...
Emotionally in one place.
But so many out of hearing distance,
Believe for them it is never too late.
