Enigma Poem by Elena Plotkin

Enigma

Rating: 5.0

Time is a promise that can't be kept.
The sun does not rise nor does it set.
Dreams are the lies we conjure up in bed.
Tomorrow is supplanted by today instead.
The answers we seek only lead to more questions.
The advice we crave we treat like mere suggestions.
We cherish memories and neglect the future.
We cut each other without the knowledge of how to suture.
