Time doesn’t work any more
Today, I stopped time
I removed it from the wall
Before 7.30am had chimed
Placed in the cupboard, and wrapped in a shawl.
It was beautiful
No physical time in the house.
Not a chime or tick tock was uttered
Everything as quite as a mouse
Later I ate , when I felt like it
Took out my paints , down by the river
The time was? I have no idea, I have to admit
The sunset came, and then the stars glowed silver
I set off back, honeycomb dots in the distance
Back to home, back to my solitary
The path of least resistance
Away from time , my sanctuary
I slept under mother moons protection
And woke not knowing if days passed or hours
For me , only a new affection
That time does not hold me now
It empowers
I really like this! it describes so well how by measuring things in scales like seconds or days we miss what they really are: moments that can last forever… Thank you for the reminder! ❤️
How lovely. It has an ethereal feel to it.
A really intriguing piece. So frequently I feel imprisoned by time as I wait for an alarm to notify me of the next meds.
