Time, Gone Poem by Fab Ricciardi

Time,
A moment that will never be lived again,
An apparition, a mirage, an instant,
Going, going,
Gone,
Never to be repeated again,
Never again.

Moments once lived,
Seconds turn to minute,
Now hours, now days,
Now going,
Going,
Gone.

“Time, ”
You plead
“Time, ”
You beg,
“Can you stay,
Just a bit,
Just a little bit longer, please? ”

Time,
Live it, and everything in it,
Love it, and everything in it,
With all you got,
And so much more.
Time,
Live it, Love it,
Before it’s going,
Going,
…Gone.
