Don't Look Now

 If I could turn back the hands of time
- stop -
for just a moment
the relentless progression

savor the sweet yesterdays and drink

up every precious minute

would I treasure the seconds any more if

I knew how swiftly they flew by?

or does the beauty of their existence
lie somewhere in the
innocence of my ignorance

Can we only really live with our hearts wide

open because we do not know -

that in just a blink of an eye.....

Tomorrow will be upon us!
