Tick tock

Seems as if
Time is a real witch
Never waiting for me.
Never caring if
I understand a thing.

Time always has its coat on.
Always has the keys in hand
Tapping its foot.
Looking at its watch.

I want to watch leaves fall,
And babies smile.
I want to know secrets,
And maybe tell a few.

I want to hold my father’s hand
And feel the calluses he put there for me.
I want to smoke big fat cigars,
Stare into a pair of beautiful eyes.

I want to sit lazily by the river
And play my harmonica.
I want to watch the sunset over the ocean
Until I cry.

Tick tock
