Get Your Golden Shovel! Poem#1

When my good friend Monty over montysblahg.com asked me to be apart of his collaborative poetry series “Get Your Golden Shovel!” I couldn’t resist. Click here to check out the rules for the collaboration.

Here is this week’s prompt: Golden Shovel No. 01

“Time says hush. By the gong of time you live.”

The Gong of Time by Carl Sandburg (Honey and Salt)

My poem for the week:

In youth we confidently flirt with time

As it goes on we must do what it says

Wrinkles gained with a quieted hush

Hands of the clock tick by

Making peace with the

Notes missing in the gong

Getting our fill of 

The nothingness of time

Inside is me and you 

Only in the now do we live
