Time Passing

Time Passing

I watched my life tick away today. No literally, I watched the second-hand rotate for several seconds that turned into minutes…and I wondered.

Why can’t time be rewound – it is racing away and I don’t have control over it

So I better seize this moment because it will not return to me…and I wondered.

Why is the second-hand red – is it because it reflects urgency. I am racing the clock but when is the race complete?

I watched my life past by today. No literally, I glared at the clock and watch each tick
tock bye.
Five minutes has passed I better haul ass, finish all my daily task because before long today will be gone.

There is no pause, no hesitation just constant revolving: trees bristling, wind whistling and my pen scribbling…
Tick-tock
Tick-tock.
