Every day is a battle
to find more or slow down or move faster.
Yet time is not aware of our desires
and continues in one steady direction.
The very definition of time is based on
processes and natural events occurring
millions of miles beyond the grasp
of worn and tired hands.
Yet we continue to pin our decisions,
our careers, our relationships, and our lives on time.
We lose focus on now as we reminisce of the past
and wish for the future.
We forget how precious time can be
if we choose to accept our loss of control.
We can only control the present, the people,
and the moments we hold close.
