If foreseeing of the future were within our scope of powers,
to discern with any clarity, beyond these given hours,
what may seem of great importance in this present's apt to fade,
in the face of new decisions that must constantly be made.

Remove "Time" from the equation that what matters in detail's,
not just beauty of a sunrise, but, a parting of a veil
as percieved in all it's glory, being infinately  "right",
visiting a revelation too long hidden from our sight.

Time would hide from us these visions behind movements so precise,
that if we would truly see things we must look upon them twice,
take a moment to reflect upon the transcience of things,
all inclusive to the point of which these ramblings might bring.

Were time mine, to thus manipulate as words, I'd slow it down,
with the future put on hold, I'd have another look around
with a gaze that's re-awakened to observe the finest hours,
of all things, to stem their passing with the transcience of flowers.

Very, very nice.  Did you know time is somthing Man made up to account for his state of being?  In truth, time does not pass, it is only the soul moving through experiences.  So you "can" slow time down, you need only linger longer in the moment.
