Time.
Time seems to have flown by in the best sense. It truly feels like an eternity; yet, at the same time, it feels as if it could not be possible for time to have passed me by so quickly. Many days I wake up and wonder how long it has truly been, for I am never completely sure. Some days I will sit up and time seems to run away from me; others I will lay in bed feeling as if I'm being smothered by it.
Father Time, maybe, enjoys messing up the mental schedules of people. Maybe that is how he gets his kicks every day and night. It is one of those things that has been lost in translation across the ages, I suppose.
Time flies by when one's mind is occupied. It seems that there is never enough time in a day to get the things on one's list done. There is never enough time to do what must be done, say what must be said, or show love to the people we care about during the seemingly short amount of time that our lives are graced with their lights. We only wish we could make it all last longer, else we will never arrive where we want to be.
Time is far too slow when there is nothing to be done. Whe we are lonely and not a sould is around to talk to. When no one is answering their phones, online, or replying to out emails and texts. No letters arrive in our mailboxes, though we check them each day. It seems to drag on in infinite silence when we are awaiting news of someone who has been hurt or is missing. There is no escaping the abyss that is time.
Time. Sort or long? Slow or fast? Heavy? Light?
Real?
Time is in our minds. How long has it taken you to read this? How long did it feel? In the grand scheme of things, one person's life is nothing at all, taking less time to start and fade away than a shooting star. Has it flashed before you? Have you wasted a wish on that milisecond of beauty? Have you felt the emptiness and sorrow when it fades away? Do you wish it would return so you could gaze upon it once more? If your life is that short...If it takes that like for your life to begin and end...
What was the time it took you to read this?
