The Time, it is Against Us

The time, it is against us.
How the hour is getting late. Wait!
Easy, Charile… take you time and trust us,

Tempt fate and find your mate,
if you use what you have wisely.
Minutes, like dog-years blindly
erasing each hour off the clock.

“Invest your time wisely.” they say.
Time flies when you are having fun this way.

“Into each life some rain must fall.”
Surely, time is on my side.”

Another hour, another year,
going in circles, have no fear.
Another trip around the pond,
in search of soul mate for a song.
Never mind the one eyed toad,
stay in sight and off the road.
The mighty Mayfly takes to flight,

under the hosta and out of the light,
she appeared to his delight.

Hour Two, 10 am
The Time, it is Against Us
(form Acrostic/ Sonnet variation/series 2 of 24)
Charlie the Mayfly.
