time slides
into a pool
plastic balls
of every color
frolics madly
screams & spins
then passes out
on the sidelines
naps & dreaming
of ocean waves
wakes in a start
tasting of salt
pours cool water
in a tall glass
drinks it down
& slides again.

What a marvellous metaphor..time passing like a summer day, fleeting but beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh this is nice!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite "frolics madly
screams & spins
then passes out
on the sidelines".
Excellent!
Oooh, great metaphor! Love the "naps and dreaming", then the glass of water, "drinks it down"..........good one!
