re-written past
Alright, so here's the challenge. Take your oldest piece here on prose, blow the dust from it, polish it and give it another life. Show us what you started with here. You can refresh, change its length, or simply edit your work a bit (especially if it has been years since anyone had a chance to see it) or just leave it as it is because for you it's perfect. And tag me so I can see your entry ;) Ps. I will join in as well

Tweaked A Four-Year Old Piece

Time Flies By

The essence of time,

ticking.

A holder of thoughts,

seconds stored by memories,

remembered minute by minute.

Images come forth, hourly;

days to think of what if’s,

weeks to plan the what may be.

Months after to decide,

if years past,

those years to come;

if anything, is really worth the effort.

Tick-tock,

hands go round the clock.

Time, flies by.

We laugh, we sigh,

privately we cry.

One day we die.

Is it really worth the effort.

Days of “what if” images—

week by week planned out,

month over month to decide,

if years past and years to come,

will have been worth the journey.

Tick-Tock,

hands go round the clock.

Time zips by as to remind—

we’ve lived, laughed, loved, cried,

sighed,

and run ourselves out of Time.

In the process of writing this, it caused me to think of several songs:
