Buckle Up

Dear Fleeting Moment,

Before this one passes, I will try to say it fast

Don't' need no rosie colored glasses, to know it's hard to make one last.

You pass by, before we know it - the next one waiting there in line,

to press the hands a little faster, stealing moves from father time.

60 seconds blows by without warning, like a furious jet plane,

passengers like Ozzy Osborne, all aboard the crazy train.

Trying to beat the clock or tame it, no one has figured out just how,

to stretch it even a little bit - you have to live it now.

So, that was my 60 seconds, did I convey what's on my mind?

If not then, come back in a minute, and I'll give it one more try.

Here for the duration,

Life's Apprentice - K
