Hold On, Time

January 19, 2017January 19, 2017 ~ Vincent Mars

Time take not my hand.
Run not with me so.
I want to grow old one day at a time,
I want to stop and pant,
not speed on.
I’d rather stumble on the way
on the treadmill of fate
than run straight
from 9 to 5
toward the finish line.

Woo, I feel that. We are so often denied the chance to take time to savor the moment…

Love the flow of this too!

Time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near”…..
