'Monumental'

The latest post from entries to the Junior Poetry Prize competition is by Aoise Keogan-Nooshabadi:

'Monumental', by Aoise Keogan-Nooshabadi

Monumental,
We sat there.
Time,
Watching it pass,
Watching you pass.

We tried to catch it,
As it longingly lurked
under our feet.
But it wouldn’t stop, hold, pause.
Now, one can only hope.

But Time
Promised to come to me.
Only then
I can promise to hold you,
Once again.
