Time

If I could step outside of time

For a single day

And float amid a pool of blue

As problems drift away.

To put my duties all on hold

But would I ever be so bold?

To let go of the doing of things,

And glide about on weightless wings,

To soar upon the carefree breeze.

If only I could make time freeze.

I thought about this hard and long.

I know the answer isn't wrong.

There is a way to make time freeze.

Turn off the noisy cell phones, please.

There is a very simple way,

Just leave your workplace

For one day.

Find a haven of beauty and peace,

A spot where bounding

Thoughts can cease,

Beside the ocean or quiet bay.

Perhaps a park along the way.

Focus on the here and now

And like a child remember how

To feel our life connect and grow

And open to the timeless flow

Of laughter, love and living life,

No place for busyness and strife.

You will become that carefree breeze

And for you right then,

Time will freeze.
