Passage of time…

Have you ever had the feeling that you are standing in one place?

You stand and do not move.

Around you, time flows, life goes on,

And yet, you remain standing

Defying time and life.

You know it’s time to move,

But it’s as if some invisible force holds you

And each time you gather the courage to take

That big step,

That significant change,

It grabs you and pulls you back

To your usual place.

And so, you continue to stand in the same spot.

Hours pass, days pass, months pass,

Yet, you still don’t move.

You look into the distance at other people

Living their lives,

And due to the rush, they don’t even notice

The place where you stand and wait,

For time in the distance

To stop

So quickly

To pass…
