THE SEPTEMBER BLUES

A poem.

Time, where did you go?

My friend and sometimes my foe

On lazy days is when I love you most

To remind that there's time to spare

To sleep, to laugh, to stay completely still

But on the days where I feel the most exuberant, the most free

Moments that I wish I could thrive in forever,

You never seem to stop

You're too eager to keep ticking by,

So sneaky and clever sometimes I never notice that you are gone

It's when I'm feeling so anxious and I can barely see,

My head full of discerning thoughts that I feel so dizzy,

That you never seem to move,

Every time I look at you, at your hands on the clock that seem to slow down each time I steal a glance,

It's like the seconds become minutes,

Unbearable

Though I never want to give you up

I will always want more of you.

Because without you,

Time,

I would cease to exist
