it truly is a shame to repeat
that time is and always will be
an object of which we will never
have control.
i always find that when my eyes
are open taking it all in
that time slows down to display
lifes beauty.
however, when i close my eyes
time decides to gain momentum
taking no mercy on the experiences
i’ll miss.
when i do get a chance
to look at the beauty around me
to longingly admire it
i cherish.
