Every Instant

I look at the time and it seems to slow down. I focus on the movement, the sound, and the tick. Like the dancer who spins and twirls her gown, The spin seems to hypnotize and almost make you sick.

But when time is enjoyed, you almost never notice. Hours and minutes and seconds have gone. It’s as if all the petals fell from the lotus, For it has heard the song of the swan.

Some of us lie down, wallowing in sadness. Some of us go out and live life to the fullest. The ones who lie down live long lives of pain and madness. The ones who go out live lives of the purest.

There is no running from time, time is everywhere. On the wall, on our wrists, on all screens, and in our mind. So face the great beast, and beat out its despair Don’t focus on your time limit; it only puts you in a bind.

So what is time, when it is merely misused? Don’t just stare into a face, and watch the hands turn. Make sure your feel the moments, don’t let a second be excused. You only live once, so put every instant in concern.

Hey do you guys think this relates to my topic? haha
