Life wildly spins
It rocks and tilts and wavers
And as time tumbles on
It grows more and more unstable
And with each revolution passed
Fewer more will come
So each new moment gains new worth
As soon its turns are done
Regard these words
And know the last will come
How will you spend this time
Before this wild ride is done?
Although it seems it will go on
Time will see its end
And when it's done and fine'ly falls,
It won't be spun again
It rocks and tilts and wavers
And as time tumbles on
It grows more and more unstable
And with each revolution passed
Fewer more will come
So each new moment gains new worth
As soon its turns are done
Regard these words
And know the last will come
How will you spend this time
Before this wild ride is done?
Although it seems it will go on
Time will see its end
And when it's done and fine'ly falls,
It won't be spun again

*from my Emerge collection, being poem #2.
The original title was "Top", as in the type of spinning toy, but I later thought that title was too broad to pick up on without a picture or context with it to clue people into what I meant by the word "Top", so I changed the name to "Topple" to convey the meaning more accurately.
