Reflection on Copeland’s Drumming

In these latter years,
when the future dwindles to unlikely,
I still find I’m singing
the songs of long ago.

Within this aged frame,
where worlds collide and battle,
with digital dreams losing out,
while memories dazzle,

the clock may rule the bounds
of space and time,
and I am always subject to its tyrannies,
I hear yet the beat of another age.


Line count: 12
Free verse
For Promptly Poetry Challenge, Week 27
Prompt: Write a poem using at least 3 of these words: clock, dwindle, dazzle, frame, collide, singing.
