THE RECKONING

By Mary Denise Lyons

Day fades like missed chances.

Time slips away. No rewind. No replay.

I see – too late – how blind I’ve been;

The words I’ve left unspoken, the dreams left unachieved.

Time demands its reckoning.

Now in the growing dark I mourn

My children who were never born.
