Time's Pace.

Time's Pace🕛🌠⚘

The chilly winter night
where the winds blow cold,
there's no one in sight
as I walk down the streets that have grown old.

I see the shadows of the trees
and beneath it lie animals, sleeping,
seeking the shade, sleeping in peace.

I see the moon in the vast sky,
as white as milk.
I see it fading as the day comes by,
the sunlight feeling soft on my skin, as soft as silk.

I hear the birds chirping
and flying out of their nests.
Around me, I see people working,
working hard and passing life's each test.

I see the flower girls plucking flowers,
and the daylight hitting the tall towers.
People busy in their own worlds,
time going so fast making me wonder whether the world swirls.

As the time plods on,
I see the twilight change to dusk and then dawn.
All the people around me lost in their own space,
so lost, they can't even remember each other's face.

That's how the time goes on,
without anyone able to stop it.
I ponder, lying in my lawn,
the journey of human life is everlasting and fun to watch, even more than I admit.
