Time to go, the time police are coming.

Fictional macabre scribbles.

I'm no more a spoke

in the wheel that turns,

my thoughts aligned along it's axis,

I move forward abandoned.

Today is born

yesterday was murdered

and the future... who knows.

My mind is stalked, eclipsed

by memories that lie in the dark

there's a radar ahead

my speed is clocked

the darkness is getting closer,

I'm told to pull over.

You've done well

with your life expectancy

almost unnoticed.

Too bad the drive is over.

The time cop writes out my eulogy:

Time of death....

On the end of time's pendulum

life swings not knowing

when the hands will stop.

dear Andrew… my Clock will be striking Midnight soon… I will be heading to the Blue Moon. In the meantime I will be aware of the Beauty of the Earth and know I will be a Guardian Angel. Always, Pat

Thanks Pat, your heart is the stairway to heaven.

Perhaps it's time to call it a day...to call it quits...you're at the end of time's pendulum....Darkness approaches...you're life is over...only a eulogy is left....I really like the way you used metaphors for portaging the end of the road.... very clever...
Warmly, B
