The world at times seems to toil away<br />

Was it a minute or hour that passed?<br />

Did I brush my teeth? My hair? My cat?<br />

Where has the time gone<br />

I check under the couch<br />

Wave my hand back and forth, hoping to find something solid<br />

T’was for naught<br />

And now my hand is covered in dust<br />

I stand up<br />

Sigh<br />

Wipe my hands on my pants<br />

Turning to leave, I face the window<br />

The dust, casually wiped away, now floats<br />

Suspended in the air<br />

Practically twinkling<br />

Twisting and turning, not bound by gravity<br />

An enchanting moment<br />

Wait. A moment. A pause<br />

I found my time.<br />

Time<br />

So simple yet so precious<br />

Too much of it<br />

Until there is none left<br />

It flies by<br />

In the blink of an eye<br />

Most of us<br />

Not appreciating its value<br />

Until it's too late<br />
