The Past

In response to bwarren’s Sunday Whirl Wordle #731

Stuck within the echo of life’s clock
rooted in a past that slips away
before my eyes

The sound of footsteps
upon each hour loop through years
of creaks that stir a frightened imagination

Before I open my eyes to look
the past has claimed the future
imagination becomes reality
