Time waits for no one

Time waits for no one
and when it's time you'll know
and all those things that seemed
important-
will fall
books unread
jobs not finished
days left empty
time waits for no one
and when it's time you'll see
that the things you so desperately
needed to do
will be left abandoned
spring cleaning,
a cluttered mess
the washing,
overflowing
time waits for no one
and when it's time you'll embrace it.
