Where Time Really Does Stand Sill

Teddy.15

 

 

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.

      Time stands still in our minds once in a while although it seems to race at other times. Maybe time is just an invention of the human mind, other animals don't seem to worry about it. Thought provoking write Teddy.

                I can relate to every single word .. but am surrounded by them .. I have a thing about old clocks & watches, my house tocks to me 24/7 and it is a source of much comfort .. well poemed Teddy .. its good to see what makes someone else tick .. Neville
