There’s a saying Time waits for no man Time can be relative Or a revelation Time cannot be extinguished Or diminished When waiting Time feels elongated Like watching the grass grow It levitates Holding itself suspended In a reality of its own making Transforming itself as if static Standing still Yet time ticks on Like the striking of Big Ben And the universe moves At its predetermined pace While we poor mortals Suffer the interminable seconds Of the atomic clock That stands still Only in our consciousness Waiting like Pandora’s Box To be opened And return to its natural pace Of sixty seconds Sixty minutes Hours…days…weeks…years Waiting for time Time holding a new reality Time demonstrating its ability To transfix Transfuse And open new vistas Only time can reveal
