Time, Take Me Away

Peering out my bedroom window, alarm clock's beeping time away. although the hour's ticking on time has stopped; forever gone... a burning torch has lit the sky field mice toil through cedar pine a parrot tidies up her nest hatchlings clamor at her breast. In my mind, I've drifted off to places where "old" time can't go. I daydream here and stay a spell however long, I could not tell... enshrouded in a cloud of dust, streetlamps warm sand flies. rain clouds slip behind the moon. tree frogs croak in tune. I can't remember where I went or how long I'd been gone. but here, I'll linger knowing I'm just fond of wasting time...
