I Remember tomorrow,
As the sun arrests me
in the now
Time’s like taffy to swallow,
Seconds stretched,
Stuck together,
Like The sun knows how…
Just how to snatch
the arrow I’m caught on,
That drags me ceaselessly
through dark skies…
A sun so crisp and clear,
When it halts and hangs,
Motionless, heavy,
As it breaks from its rise.
Rays reach outwards
like hands grasping
each moment,
Pulling at either end,
Elongating time somehow…
Seconds stretch and spill over,
Borders of “back then”
and “later” melt away..
The sunrise seizes me
And I’m fully in The Now.

- Comment from author about the poem: This is about how being absorbed in a moment of awe can make time feel longer, as it immerses you in the moment. Specifically, this moment of awe for me was derived from the moment the sun rises just above the horizon. To me, the sun and time seem to hold still momentarily before the rising continues.
