If Time

If time stops for a tick, The waves hold breath offshore, My life boat lost in sea, Finds fate in destiny, Time ticking, echoes, me. If time stops for a tick, My heart shares love above, The Romance in you & me, Eternal bond, love's rule, Time ticking, souls joined, we. If time stops for a tick, I'll stand like a mountain, Avalanches come and go, Trees stand tall, hardy, so, Time ticking, spirit shows. If time stops for a tick, I reflect on my past, The failures in my life, Might turn into success, Time ticking, same old life.

your poem resonated with me, Jay. If only we could stop time for that 'tick' to which you refer, maybe failures might turn into success...such powerful words. But that ol' clock just keeps on ticking. Have to fave this one

Time is something we can't control. It always seems to speed up when we want it to slow down. A well written Monchielle, Jay.
