Chasing Time
Chasing after tomorrow,
trying to catch a break
Wish for an answer, doing
whatever it would take
Listening to time pass,
counting every minute
Racing every second, in
hoping I then can win it
Need to leave yesterday’s
sorrows so far behind
Hoping I get the chance
to trick never ending time
Touching tomorrow when I
think I have, it gets away
Moving past the sands of time,
to a brand new day
Midnight approaches,
as seconds slowly tick by
Waiting and watching,
I’ll be here awaiting a reply
11:59:45 I reach out,
stretching my fingertips
The hands of time hit
12:00:00 then it eclipses
Like Alice I start falling,
into times grinning face
It smiles laughing at me
as it’s then replaced
Back to today again,
I was a half second away
Here I’m watching times
hands and it’s display
