Replay and Rewind

How do I articulate this?

It eludes me and all my senses.

Have I wasted it away?

My arms stretch to the cosmos,

Ever-reaching,

Never reaching.

Stuck in the in-between

Neither here, nor there

The Finish Line!

How did I get here?

Another Start Line.

How did I get there?

Blink; tick

Blink; tick,

Blink; tick.

I'm here now, I was there a second ago.

Stay here, for a while. Please.

The journey ends, never starts, and never finishes.

But you're here, at the end, now

Reply and Rewind is a poem I wrote, inspired by the concept of time.

Whenever I struggle to express my thoughts, I turn to writing poems. Ironically, I find it so freeing to try to express myself in fewer words.
