Chase ’til Eternity

Clouds frozen in time
a pocket watch waiting to be spun
standing still
suspended
as if the four winds have ceased to blow

The sun, playing hide n’ seek
is winning right now
by divine intervention or
current stoppage

“Come out, come out, wherever you are!”

In due time it reveals itself
beaming in radiant beauty
saying, “Ha, ha, catch me if you can!”

But one wouldn’t dare try to catch it
for fear that we’d be running ’til eternity
