one day

    someday

never returning

for time must

    eventually

                        end

    midnight                   fortnight  lightyear
                                          rain sand
like most things

will you go after them

Into the wild blue yonder

wherever it may be

when your time comes

will you answer the door

    let poor grandfather in

                shaking out his boots

                        letting the snow

                fall away

when the tide comes in

will you be ready

when it leaves

you must

    decide

                answer

or

lie awake at night

contemplating

    speculating

                calculating

crunching numbers like you do

determining whether or not

you did just what you had to

or just tossed

impulsivity and caution

    together to the wind

did you take your chance

or let it steal away
