Oops! I Forgot

Sometimes life is the coffee cups,

Left forgotten on car roofs.

In minutes, you are miles away,

The missing cups, the only truths.

Our lives erode unnoticed,

Like river banks that wash away.

The currents are unrelenting,

Sand bags and faith, keep naught at bay.

Bravely we step forward,

Another march, continued on…

Suddenly I’m Ringling Brothers;

One last parade, the elephants gone.
