When the tick of the clock doesn’t match the time
of one’s heart beat …
every second seems like an eternity.
The world spins slow.
Life goes by and it is not as sweet…
because it is not in it’s proper time.
Who cares if the birds are singing and the air smells fresh…
if there is any chance that the next day will be shared…
with someone who has the ability to lighten one’s heart by mere presence?
Life always seems to go so slow in sad or lonely times…
and so fast when love and laughter is near.
Ironically, the waiting is what makes the good times
seem so sweet.
Doesn’t a meal taste better when seasoned with hunger?
I believe that the more bad things that happen in our lives,
the better the good one’s are going to be
…simply because they will be absorbed completely and appreciated more
… so if tomorrow is an eternity away, there sure is a lot of time…
to imagine just how good it will be when it gets here and when it does…
Take it in.
appreciate every second spent on the journey
… because those are the little bits of time
that made those good things seem just that much better.
Peace be with you.
