Stop.

You're growing like a tree, stop.

Life is speeding by me, stop.

I'm thinking I'm right here

But I'm really then or there, stop.


Tick-tock...


I wish I could slow down time, stop.

Desperately searching the next rhyme, stop.

The seasons are flying by

Quickly, without reason or why, stop.


Tick-tock...


Waking up and I'm ancient, stop.

Feeling this new old man scent, stop.

Woken up by my own snoring

Realizing the clock was never boring, stop.


Tick-tock...


Bent over, like a withered, old tree-man

Eternal, soft, frozen breath, stills my pen.


Stop.
