Today is 11/8/2015
Today dawns on the bones of yesterday.
Other than be swept away by regret,
Don’t waste what time is given this new day.
Accomplish what you may, but don’t forget
Your reprieve ends with sunset. Accounting
Is closed with the coming of night. When sleep
Slides shut this day, do no more adjusting.
1 line per day until its filled and keep
1 line for tomorrow still to be filled.
8th this day of November is here ranked.
2 for the thousand years history spilled.
0 hours left to change what today banks.
1 because that’s where it all started. With
5 we have the beginning of a myth.
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Your Days are Numbered.”
