When Time Felt Eternal
A poem on the passing of time
Remember a time
a life time ago
when time moved slow, almost eternal?
When every second of the ticking hand moved slow?
as it made it's journey around the clock
from five
to ten
to fifteen
the minutes dragged on
it's destination - the next hour
Which felt like a continent away
How we longed to speed up time!
When a whole day seemed to linger from the first break of the rising sun to first sight of the first evening star
You wondered if night would ever come
When a year felt more like a decade,
each holiday's arrival took an eternity
Then one day, its a blur
as if someone hit the fast forward button in life
the seconds
minutes
and hours
it all hurls past us
One second we're basking in summer's warmth,
the next, we're bracing for winter's chill
Instead of rushing time, we long for the days when we felt the ticking time move slow
