My time is like a runaway train,
Many things to cram in one day.
Gone forever those days of halcyon,
Hard keeping today's world at bay.
It's like living under the shadow,
Of a constantly chiming Big Ben.
I'm not master of my own destiny,
Like a poet lost without his pen.
There's always hope for the future,
I should forever bear that in mind.
A secure thought I should cling to,
My timeless rock one day I'll find.
A poetic gem that breathes hope. Uplifting message with wisdom and insight. Each and every stanza stands out with great rhyme. To my Poem List.

Wonderfully poem filled with inspired imagery! Yes everything moves too fast for my liking these days. One day I hope to move to that idyllic/ bucolic cottage in the woods and completely move away from the insidious, modern rat race. I just hope that my namesake Dominic Cummings doesn't have the same ideas...imagine him as a next door neighbour...aaargh! Anyhow, it's a timeless ten from me!
