Here’s Suzanne Burke’s ‘Fiction in a Flash Challenge 2021’ Week #42, where you can see the prompt, read the rules and join in the flash fiction challenge!
I am super excited to get to contribute to the prompt this week. I hope you enjoy!

TIME
They say time is an illusion
Only existing in our minds
That time to the Universe
Is the greatest joke to mankind
A porcelain jewel, delightfully ornate
Quietly ticking away, and now four-o-eight
Maybe it’s fate, mocking and cruel
For at four-o-seven I lost the numbers pool
My breathing ceased and heart stopped beating
And now I know time is nothing if not fleeting
As softly I float into the warm light
Below a body, once my birthright
That housed my spirit throughout the years
Is now only a shell, as loved ones shed tears
Time is an illusion, or so they say
Yet it marches forward into another day
Don’t take it for granted
Or put off your greatest delight
Before you know it, your spirit will take flight
Illusion or not, time never ceases
With or without you until it releases

Thank you so much for stopping by. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
