Where Time Really Does Stand Sill

 

 

My most favorite clock 

is the one that lives in my attic  

it’s really old and doesn\'t have hands 

ironically time took its toll 

I don\'t mind though

sometimes I go up just to see it

not ticking and not moving

I sit and reflect on the fact time is literally standing still 

at least that is what I want to believe 

and every moment that passes 

I feel i\'m cheating time itself 

having a deep love affair with denial 

all the while knowing that sooner or later 

i\'ll have to leave my beloved clock 

and go back down to where life still moves

and chimes still make an entrance on the hour

but for now, just for the next few minutes 

i\'ll sit quietly reflecting with my moment of stillness 

where time really does stand still.
