Never-ending Calendar

When the heart stops beating
And the mouth stops breathing
When the soul and body part
Forget them not, not the end but a start

Can never truly die when remembered
Lived life worthy of being honored
Carried on infinitely
By word of mouth and memory

Reveled and embraced by those that have been touched
When then most needed a friend, a companion, a crutch
Grateful still and love past the brim
Knows no limits, every look, plan, and whim

A guardian sent to generations unofficially met
Fireflies from the sun, uncapturable by any net
Sprinklers are rain falling upward as we start again
Birds chirp their laugh as we remember when

Hours to Tomorrow

Day by day passing right on by

Hands on the clock keep twirling

Spinning around and moving forward

Stopping for none, continuing for all

Sprinting past continuously

And within what seemed like nothing at all

All of time goes swishing by

Looking back, all seems so close

Yet unreachable, so far away

No matter how much heart and will

Pushed forth to push backward

The iron wall stands towering, concrete

Nothing will be allowed passage

One way road, unchangeable

Wanting naught but to alter what was

To relive, to rebuild, to replay

Times past as present

But the guardians of time,

Keepers of memories,

Shove your insisting body away

Unsympathetic and unfeeling

Bounding forward,

Hurdling through time and space

The future nears so rapidly

And soon all comes to an end

Yet tomorrow always seems so far off

Like what will never happen

But before realizing, it arrives

Once reaching the destination,

However, it is no longer tomorrow

As that would be yet another day away

Countless hours ‘til it shall emerge

Materializing in only our thoughts

Creators of this continuum

Endlessly procrastinate
