Looking at things closely can really help bring life into perspective
Like time
Time is all in the eyes of the beholder
or so I've been told
When you are young it seems that timing is everything to Elders
Being to places early or on time
school, practice, planned events, appointments
Waking up in the morning to get the most out of your day
and then turning around and going to bed on time to get up and do it all again
If going to a friend's house you had to be back on time
before lunch, before supper, before dark
figuring out when to say or do something at the right time
the right moment
and those moments are all I want back
not the childhood moments
but just moments
like memories
Moments can be infamous
or vanish in an instant
It seems like when waiting on something a day can stretch into infinity
Every time you look at the clock the hands stand frozen or you think that digital number will never flicker to the next
While reading you want just a little more time to grasp something or find a conclusion to a thought
And searching for the time to start the books that you want to read
there seem to be so many
Searching for time to spend with friends when everyone is so busy
to share and create those memories you hold onto so dear when you can't be around them
Trying to pack as many tasks as you can into one or several days
everything you have to do and get done on a timely basis
So you can finally get that one moment to be alone with yourself
that sometimes seems to never come
I have no concept of time
it seems like everything blurs together
and I forget things
even things that happened not even a few minuets ago will at times not stick
forgetting something I just did can be scary
For me time can last forever or be gone just as quick as it came
Time seems to be running out
everyone is on a fixed clock that keeps running until it ends
when we end
when we vanish
no one lives on into infamy
Maybe to our friends and family
and every life we touched along the way
sooner or later though we all will be forgotten
and those bad times, memories, and moments are worth nothing
you will spend your time worrying too about what happened
what you could have done better
wanting so bad to change your past
they are all in the past and not of the present
if you don't take advantage of what time you have now you will regret it
worrying about the future gets you nowhere either
my dear peruser
it causes nothing but pain and stress
and is not worth the effort if you spend too much time dwelling
But are not those moments great
the ones we create and leave people with
those memories that get us through our days
waiting for those happy times to come
for things to get better
for a brighter tomorrow
