Clock

the tomorrow's pass to quickly
today becomes the past
minutes and hours we lose
never to get them back

I need to slow this down
and savor all that's there
taste the honey's nectar
exploring all that's here

how do we stop the clock?
as it loudly ticks away
keeping this time we've got
before it's yesterday

Not an easy task in the fast pace life that we live today. Keep the creative and magical pen flowing. I especially like the middle stanza. Sara
