Time

August 4, 2010

Time is slipping away from me

Today

Like the sand in my hand

The water from a broken dam

Tears of grief

I can’t hold on to it

No matter how hard I try

It’s slipping like an ice cube

An oiled burglar

A slurpy noodle

A skier gone astray

A foot on a banana peel

A fish out of water

A ghost through the door

Time is slipping away from me

Today

And I don’t know

What to do

I’m pushing on the brake pedals

And searching for a pause button

But time is

Slipping away

From me

Today.

    Reminded me of the song, "Course of Nature : Time Is Slipping Away!"

    Love it.

    "Time is a monster that cannot be reasoned with. It responds like a snail to our impatience, then it races like a gazelle when you can’t catch a breath." – From the movie ‘Simon Birch’

    I adore subtle flow of a stream of rich expressions…
    Best regards,
