Time, Our Mutual Foe

Woman walking in autumn original watercolor painting
~ Vincent Mars

Have you seen
a beautiful woman
rushing past you,
her hair waving goodbye,
her skirt flapping about her
like wings?
Was not time
doing her
a great injustice?
Was not time 
mocking you?
Time undressed her of you.
Time did to her
everything he wanted to.

I write as a way of life: stories, blogs, articles, almost-poems. I'm a freelancer, a vegetarian, and I listen to Leonard Cohen and enjoy French films. We are dying a little more with each new day we live, so shouldn't we make the most of our time?

    1. Hi Catherine. This is a watercolor by the (c) AntigoniArtGallery. I was not able to find the the actual name of the artist. Perhaps Antigoni is a family name? This info should have been included in the caption but it seems that setting up an image as featured hides the caption.
