Timeband

Time is striped in ticking bands
Hazy striations in a shadow land
The past is sepia and hard to see
The future's grey and hidden from me

Only the now stands out in the light
Like kiplings tiger that burnt so bright
Yet that night time forest raised the dawn
And became a striped suburban lawn

    A very interesting take on the prompt I really enjoyed reading this. I remember when those lawns when freshly mowed looked like stripes.
    Thanks so much for your entry.
