Time - Millie Crowe

The Kauri tree,

Big and overshadowing.

Its branches stretching out,

Leaves rustling in gentle zephyr.

I remember climbing it,

Higher and higher until I was lost,

Lost in its branches.

I thought it would live forever,

But now it is gone,

Forgotten.

Time passes,

Too fast for me to catch up,

But I try anyway,

Chasing after it,

My chest heaving, 

My breaths quickening,

But no matter how fast I go, 

It's always faster
