When time stood still for me...
I turn my back to the wind to catch my breath before I start off again, driven on. Without a moment to spend to pass an evening with…. a friend I let my skin get too thin. I’d like to pause, no matter what I pretend, like some pilgrim who learns to transcend. Learns to live as if each step was the end.
Time stand still I’m not looking back, but I want to look around me now.
Time stands still, see more of the people and the places that surround me now.
Time stands still, freeze this moment a little bit longer. Make each sensation a little bit stronger. Experience slips away, experience slips away.
Time stands still, I turn my face to the sun, close my eyes, let my defenses down, all those wounds that I can’t get unwound. I let my past go too fast no time to pause. If I could slow…
