Time

Measurements and Time passing

Time

Perspectives in time
how fast
or how incredibly slowly
it passes.
Leaving us behind in its wake
or stretching out
to encompass days or merely a moment.
As a child a summer waxes full
yet when older
it passes by in a
blink of an eye.
Sometimes
I want to hold on
to a single moment
for a week or so,
but I can't; have to rely
on faulty memory to keep it solid.
Our days or years;
a bouquet of moments
kept in a watered glass
still fade or wither
because we can't stop time.
Just hope the mental photograph
stays clear and fresh.
