Personal Orbit
Time flies, they say, when you're having fun—moving from crawl, to walk, to run.
With space and time accelerating each moment moves faster than the last
With each birthday spent celebrating the future overtakes the past
At three years a year one third of your existence seems a substantial portion
At sixty years one year looks like a speck of fractional proportions
Time flies they say when you're having fun
Moving from crawl
to walk
to run
With each new orbit around our Sun
Until it all ends and these bodies are done
The cosmos continues spinning
Expanding onward outward
Like a small child
Demanding a prize or a reward
For never stopping
Never ceasing
Energetically releasing
Everything
And increasing exponentially
Engaging division and multiplication to swell Rapidly
Why such ferocious urgency?
Our instructions must have been lost in the mix so while clocks still run
Let's
Dance
About the Creator
Katt Clark
Poetry. Dystopias. Social commentary. Fantasy. SciFi. I read, write, paint, draw, laugh, cry, dance. Half of proceeds go to stop human trafficking, half to pay for surgery so this body will last a bit longer. Thanks for stopping by.
