Time

I tried to be the guardian of time but it kept slipping through my fingers,

Like a band on the Mississippi, I could hear the distant singers,

In my heart, my mind, the bittersweet memory lingers,

Without the alarm bells of memory or cerebral reminders,

Or the usual restrictions, self-restraint that all hinders,

Time gallops forward with unusually dark blinders,

Relentlessly, unconsciously, slipping through my fingers.
