Time

Back to the Basics

Where do you stand?

In the morning

With an idea in palm of your hand

Open your eyes

And before your first blink

In that fraction of a second

What do you think?

It’s an infinity

Before the hot water hits you in the shower

Kinda like how many thoughts you had

In the time it took to hand her the flower

Sadly,

Soon after

Tragedy strikes

And you fall to your knees

During that eternity

To whom is it that you whisper, “Please....”

Two years later

Nothing at all

They didn’t bother

No missed call

Grace finally found You at a quarter past three

When things you decided

are going to get better

All because in an old jacket pocket

You found the old Love letter

Keep the Moment

And always remember

If you keep going half of a half

You can live forever

Take them with you

When you’re trying to keep it together

Pretending to be comfortable

In an uncomfortable sweater

Life is longer

And all things sweet must one day sour

But you’ll always have that time

When you danced in the kitchen with bare feet

The Circle completed

Time and Death defeated

If only for half an hour...
