In the time that it takes
For your lips to form
A smile
Time has flown
No, time has raced
Past us.
Before we can even
Share a moment in time
Time
Speeds past the moment
Time,
The ever-elusive entity
That we strive to capture in our
Hands as
Hands on the clock
Spin in a dizzying dance
As time
Flies
Right out of our hands.

When we were young, we couldn’t wait to “grow up,” but now we realize how precious every second is.

Yes, you are right Kayla Ann My Mom would say when she was young time went slow but as the older she got the faster time went. Every second is precious and we need to treat it that way.

Thought provoking and sweet art from a maturing mind …. I’m obsessed with time and the speed at which it passes … not always linear depending on the status of our lives. Fascinating 😊💜

Great poem!
I agree though. Time always seems to be running away from us.
