Time
it's such a funny thing
I always seem to be running out of it
or running into it
I don't know why that's been the case
That's just me, I guess
Either hyper-focused
or completely unfocused
Like lying in the cradle of a pool float
As the lazy river meanders along
Always nearly dozing
before nearly drowning
under the rush of an artificial waterfall
a sudden reminder that you're at a park
abruptly brought into stark reality
out of your blissful tranquility
It becomes worse when my heart is involved
like every minute is under a microscope
And yet the day
still slips away
It's both too quick and too slow
Moments of pining
happen when I least expect
Maybe it's because I neglect
my heart and what I need in myself
as I learn to better make my heart
a safe home
where I am never alone
As I better learn to make God
The true center of my life
Then maybe my love could stay
we could count the seconds of the day
together finding each step with the father
as the end draws close at hand
and maybe time will disappear
when everything becomes clear
