Fall Back
today, Fall Back they say
We’ll have one extra hour
To wile away, howe’er we may
For each the option ours
If you could
choose, with naught to lose
An hour to live again
Follow your muse, and have no rues
Return to where and when
A time
you’d find you could rewind
And have another chance
To redesign ways left behind
The course of happenstance
What would
you do, for life anew
To quell incumbrous strife?
To take your cue from yester’s view
And change that hour of life?
Turn back the
clock – past times
are locked
Fall Back one hour tonight
Arise to walk in wisdom’s talk
Best tend to morrow’s rite
Then borrow
some from time to come
Of future’s heedful hours
Affect the sum of life undone
For destiny is ours
If from the
past we’ve learned at last
Time wisely spent instead
As hours pass, life’s
play’s recast
Fall Back then Spring Ahead
