I very much relate to your message & I like the way you've expressed it with realistic descriptions & some nicely-lofty word choices: "the tick and tock of father time" . . . "ruefully we reminisce" . . . Even tho your poem has overtones of sadness, it's not overly depressing, just truthful about this speeding-up of time which we can't avoid! Good job!
'.. each dawning day of "might've beens" and "too late now" sun sets. '
In a way, time takes us prisoner - just as love can. First it chases us, then it overtakes us. Thus and so, we're left wondering why we even left home. Seems your finely laid words say the same, sadly yet sincerely.
Honest and true words my friend.
"Life travels now at gathered pace,
attire, oft' sombre worn,
to farewell say by silent graves,
as passing life we mourn. "
The lines are true wisdom and at graves of people and things lost. We learn what is important. Thank you Gee for sharing the excellent poetry.

Beautifully written Gee. So true too. They say that time is the only constant, but is it really or is it just our fallibility that makes us think that. The good times are too quick and the sad times linger, doesn't sound too constant to me.
Superb words, flow and feel to this piece, faultless.
Devoted family man and lover of life.
Simply written, easily understood "stuff" for those without code breaking skills. You will NEVER need Google to understand me:)
