Killing Time

Time is like Thyme

Come with me

Let’s take a walk

Through Mother Nature’s garden

I have no interest

In those fruits she grows

Calling to me

Begging to be tasted

I have one place in mind

Determined to reach it

And take what I need

Deep within the stomach

Of her garden

I find the plant

Time

Growing peacefully

Swaying back and forth

Tick tock tick tock

Counting off seconds

As they float by

With a cold heart

I twist back its hands

Turning back time

Listening as the plant

Sucks back those seconds

Minutes

Hours

Of pain

Once I’m back

To those times of happiness

I cut the plant

Killing it

And pausing time

For me and you

Letting us stay happy

Forever

Very beautiful-and, sadly, impossible-idea. If only it were possible. Lovely rhythm and interesting topic. Definitely unique and enticing. Like the philosopher's stone or the waters of youth. Certainly a worthwhile read.
