Watching a Day

April 6, 2015
By Anonymous

I sit here like a rock,

on a tall hill,

watching the present,

as I stay still.

 

Traffic flies by,

a constant blur.

Clouds block the light,

a sun's saboteur.

 

People walk past,

on their way to work,

they see me staring,

and think I'm a jerk.

 

As time ticks by,

I feel its beat,

wasting away,

in the searing heat.

 

Time is like an idea,

out of reach.

Yet it turns rock to sand,

on a distant beach.

 

It's constant unending,

worry free.

No one can stop it,

especially not me.
