Drifting Mind

Drifting Mind

I sit here watching the minutes go.
Tick, tick, tick, tick
The hands keep moving.
On and on they march.
I am here and with each tick.
I am closer to somewhere else.
The after life is comes closer.
Closer and closer till there is no more tick tock to hear.
So why do I just sit here in this place and watch it go on.
Listening to the tick tock that is life passing by me.
My mind seems to lack focus more than not.
I never stop and listen to the tick tock.
Never appreciating the tick or the tock.
Just thinking about things that matter not in the end.
What am I to wear today?
What am I to do today?
Often getting angry at the little things.
My coffee was supposed to be this and not that.
Things that just don’t matter in the end.
Tick tock and my mind is off again.
To another thought and another place.
Not listening to the time passing along.
Constantly moving me towards its’ own place.
Yes, its own place at a steady pace.

Along for the ride am I , just like you too.
Maybe we need to stop and listen for a while.
Hear the sound of life.
Love the life we have for now.
Make life the life we want to have till the end.
Do you have that in your life?
What do you do to make it matter?
Tick, tock…. tick tock…tick….?
And then it ends.
Drifting I am again……..
