Time of Life
Grasp
Chase
Time is that ever-elusive concept that we strive to manage, control, find, and celebrate.
We never have enough, or we have too much.
Balance
Allow
Who is this demanding master that pulls my strings?
Who came up with this concept that dictates my every waking moment?
Clock
Tik Tok
It runs out even when we never held it in our hands
It never ends even when we never knew it began
Measured
Cut short
Our stress levels rise and fall like the waves across the sea
We ebb and flow with the time we have or the time we need
Little hand
Big hand
Which one do I watch more closely?
They conduct my activities while the second-hand pumps my heart
Backward
Forward
Lay back and watch the clouds drift past
Feel the wind across my cheeks
Dream of magical places far away
Inhale
Exhale
What if I just stopped looking, checking, always checking
What if I measure my life in the breathes I take, the smiles I make, the friends I love
Would roses smell more fragrant
Would life be brighter, more enjoyable
Would food be sweeter, more savory, or bitter
Would I laugh more
Would I grow older slower
Inhale Tick
Exhale Tock
Leave the clock and live the life
