24. No Time

I have no time
it is not mine,
It flees away so swiftly.

With hands I grasp
As it rushes past,
It simply slips right past me.

To halt its course
My will enforce,
From its stream to be free.

A hopeless wish,
Of stopping this,
Of finding time for me.

Slow Burn

Slow burn. Worlds turn. And yet they stay. In their place today. Times change. And rearrange. Embrace the new. When they look for you. The old will seem. Like a fading dream. They hide, they guide.

Fire And Ice

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what i've tasted of desire I hold with those who favour fire.

Blood, Sweat & Tears

A Blood, Sweat, & Tears day. In no way a good day. But a day to carve life. Hard into the skin of. The earth, and believe in. Hard work, deep love,. Trust of friends, tough. Decisions made with tough.

Mystery

I wish life could remain just a mystery. Not planned out to become just history. When did the time of the unknown become old. To remain in books with pages to unfold. Where did all of that magic go.

Great piece. IMO the best way to make time is to free yourself from it. I used to be busy all the time (lol) but then I just slowed down and I suddenly had time for everything. Shrug shrug.
