Whether as slowly as

raindrops

gently

filtering

through

thick

summer

foliage

or as swiftly as
the horror of an ungloved hand pulled back from an oven-hot dish,

time will surely pass

I tell you

or the horror of an ungloved hand pulled back from an oven-hot dish,


is sufficient!

And great

Hi Findy, and welcome to the group! Thanks for reading and commenting. You have a few hours to get your contribution in; are you going to have a go? A poem which speaks of the passage of time.

Nice Joanie, and economical, as Barbara says. Your spacing and abbreviated lines REALLY slows it down to illustrate the point.
