Passing The Time

Movement is life in action.

By Jessica GieniPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Waiting, passing the time,

Stuck in a box, said the mime,

......click,

Hoping, far from loaded,

Took no care now it's corroded,

Shhhhhh,

Tip toe, 'round your feelings,

Move too fast you'll bring down ceilings,

Smile,

A four leaf clover,

Just a sign it's not yet over,

I smile and laugh and sometimes I scream,

I have a better plan,

I live awake and live in my dreams,

Only because I can,

Give what you can or give what you will,

I'll be here waiting, but not still,

Smile,

I live for colors, making them seen,

True sometimes lies there inbetween,

Shhhhhh,

Who really determines the span of youth?

Once you see it you'll face the truth,

......click.
