Time Is Incredibly Slow Sometimes

time changes ever so slowly 
one tick tock at a time
click click click click
moving even more slowly
the last hour of work
or a long day in a hospital
watching someone trying to leave this plane
tick tick tick 
click click click
each moment creeping more slowly
than the last tick
and the one before
time trying to stand still
filled with impatience 
so incredibly slow now….

Love your "Time'" write. Yes, "tick tick tick ." The one thing we can never get back, time. Have a blessed day writing away.....

I sit and watch it at work the 30 minutes we have to stay after the children leave - wish we could leave after they do. Nothing to do after they are gone.

You are so right. Indeed! And I think sometimes I experience every excruciating moment!

Amazing how it seems time goes so slow or so fast sometimes, yet does not change. Well written :)

TIME IS THE BEST RUNNER ON ITS TRACK- SLOW AND STEADY MAKE THE TIME WINNER OF ALL ETERNALLY- TIME IS EVERLASTING EXISTENCE ON THE TRACK OF RUNNING LIFE!
