The Slow Time Mover - October 2, 2010

So it seems, time is not my friend
I move hindered and slower than you can conceive
Each time I breathe
I feel every particle drift into my body
When my blood courses
It walks gradually around my veins
When my heart beats
It echoes on and on 
And each time I blink
Is a full year of darkness

The worst is this
You have lived and loved
Been broken and healed
Cried and feared
Made a lifetime of memories
Died and turned to dust
All while I was sleeping

I am only thankful
That I glimpsed you for a moment
And loved you madly and deeply for that second
Because it was a lifetime

The End
