Time Slips Away
Funny how time slips away
Before you know the day
Has gone to sleep
Another day on the horizon
Approaches ever so swiftly
Languid days are no more
Time has its way of disappearing
When you need it most
Time to take care of the little
Things life has to offer
That brings joy
Runs away as if tomorrow
Has an expiration date
Time slips away
Trying to hold on to it is futile
It has its own mind
Set in its way never to change
All we can do is hope to
At least catch up
Wishful thinking
Dreaming of the day
When tomorrow is today
And today stays
Time slips away and away and away………

I need to describe a phenomenon that happened to myself and some friends, we were bush walkng in Australia and a couple of friends left the,group to wait in the car, we could not have been more than 5 mins away and we kept walking, at the time, I felt a strange sensatiin and we saw a snake, it appeared to be in slow motion, we kept walking and went to the car, when we arrived our friends askd what took us so long, we looked at our,watches and they were al 45 mins ahead, of time, still perplexes me to thius day, I hve since had many unexplainable occurences ???
...well you definitely reach the poetic sky alright - you have poetic DNA in that beautiful soul of yours ....

time is the only thing we have which can never come back but which we treat with disdain.good one
you can never retrieve time...i'm intrigued by your use of pictures...they really match with the theme of the poem...
Really enjoyed this! Great work!
Or how about when you are waiting for someone, and even a few minutes seems to last forever. Time is an excellant subject to write poetry about, as you've so clearly demonstrated here, thank you ek ellis, love your visuals in this piece too.
