If I could stop time for a moment....

If I could stop time,

Only for a moment,

I would rest.

The world spins by

In and out of focus

So quickly,

And I want to be a part of it,

To be deeply in tune

With every twist and turn

And gravity defying drop

Life has to offer.

Alas, this body of mine is weak.

It requires sleep

For at least a third of my limited chance

To do and feel with others.

If I could pause time, I would rest

So that when the clock starts again

I can live in the moment,

Completely awake

With crystal clear vision.
