My body cries out to me
It, even more than I, knows
Time is running out
It’s shouting in the silence
Making me want to listen,
To peel back the layers
Everything else is moot
For a moment, and in that
Moment - I am lost
I am a victim of myself,
Dazed with a solitary thought
Of a necessary endeavor
Stationary, yet moved by
This feeling that is larger
Than I could have imagined
I am without the ability
To argue an alternative,
Accepting what it tells me
Knowing it is essential, but
Doubting whether anyone else
Will see it that way
I do so want to listen
To act as it tells me I should, to
Simply do as I have done before
At the same time, knowing
That this time will be different,
The sun has made it so
My body cries out to me
It, even more than I, knows
That time is running out

very nice. i enjoy writes like these that have that ambiguous nature. since it was left open to interpretation, i'll share mine. in short, i felt it was about cutting. and in that context, it hits the nail on the head. again, very enjoyable and descriptie while still remaining topically neutral.

Very nicely done. I like how you've left it open for each individual mind. Very creative and written to perfection.
Take Care

Yes ... yes ... and yes. This time ... It will be different. Somethings the body just ... knows.

You're right, Snem...."how you interpret this one probably depends on your state of mind". Maybe not necessarily an interpretation but it did provoke a thought in me.....about my sister.
Nonetheless, a very brilliant poem.
Thank you.

Introspective and brilliant. I too feel the sun's charriot tear across the sky at an ever increasing speed. I feel time running out. I particularly love the stanza:
"Stationary, yet moved by
This feeling that is larger
Than I could have imagined."
Reading this poem makes me feel a sense of urgency to get my things in order. Beautiful write Snemmy!
