The Sonnet

Daylight Savings

Come with me today, and we’ll find ways to

Kill the hour we gained from daylight savings,

We will not regret the day we wasted

Searching through our childhood playthings.

You found your favourite bear, embraced it

Trying to stop the memories from fading.

Rose coloured youth gone, old age has chased it

What little is left of life; just shading.

The beauty that has been here all along,

Like sunsets that I watch from sandy dunes,

I’ll only really notice when they’re gone;

I realise now that time is coming soon.

So stay with me for now, and hold me tight

We’ll grow old together, but not tonight.
