Shift

s.ellis

it's all I have, and something I can never reclaim

impossible to be present, as my mind lets my body race away

the here and now is a instant memory that will replay over in my thoughts

as I absorb that the experience is spent

 

looking ahead into adventures of the unknown 

only to realize the journey to this point is once more

I barely remember how I got here

and yet I don't want to leave, I need more 

but the faces of the ones who came with me 

keep flashing through my mind

 

tic toc tic toc 

the second hand keeps winding

tic toc tic toc 

I feel the bells chiming in my soul

 

silence

memories

love

TIME
