PAD 2022 Day 4: Catching Up


 This poem is presented in its rough draft form for the PAD 2022 challenge and will be revised. 


PAD Prompt: Catching Up

Poetic Form: Cascade


“What Could Be”


There’s something about time

Always a step ahead of my heart

Teasing my mind of what could be


Each day a routine found in the stars

Twirling like a leaf in a cross wind

There’s something about time


Wanting more than this moment

Grasping, like a child playing tag

Always a step ahead of my heart


Wishing to swallow words already spoken

To hold a hand that no longer fits

Teasing my mind of what could be
