Stopping Time
Encased in this flesh I sense time moving slow
Beyond my eye sight life's tentacles flow
Below a city appears its lights glow
To hear every sound, some I'll never know
Under the sky clouds quietly move
A heart alone when the night turns blue
I'll taste warm droplets when the rains pass through
and breathe in earth's scents that are fresh and new
To see the white flowers fill meadow green
I'll lay beneath the moon on this hill pristine
and fill my sad eyes with reflection seen
Splayed on white flowers from the moonlite's sheen
I'll watch in silence stars dance their show
Encased in this flesh, I sense time moving slow
