Stop The Clock

Tell the sun not to shine

Tell the rain not to fall

Tell the phone not to ring

Tell the birds not to tweet

Tell the cats not to meow

Tell the rabbit not to hop

Tell the horn not to beep

Tell the wheel not to turn

Tell the wind not to blow

Tell the world not to get old

Tell the seasons not to change

Tell the music not to stop

Tell the plane not to crash

Tell the moon not to disappear

Tell the thoughts not to vanish

Tell the clock not to stop

 

Time, Lost and Found

Lost:

House cleaning, wardrobe sorting

Family cooking, refuelling

Phone chatting, overtime working

Screen watching, gossiping

Poor sleeping, arguing, fighting

Nagging, bickering, overthinking

 

Found:

Coffee, tea time, making me time

Dancing, singing, sleeping, smiling

Hugging, kissing, laughing

Strolling, cycling, crafting

Meditating, chatting, pubbing

Beaching, bathing, massaging

Grooming, gaming, gym training

Banana eating, healthy dining

Baking, entertaining

Gardening, plant potting

Bird song listening, present gifting

Decorating, friend supporting
