Time Lurks - Response to January 15, 2007 Two Word Challenge
You’ve heard the saying, “Time waits for no one,” but for many people, Time lurks. Occasionally, in the still quietness of morning, you can feel it as it wraps its icy fingers around your shoulder. In other instances it is stealth, sleeking around unobservable to human senses, rearing its ugly head in a shocking split second.
Time can also be illusive. You attempt to grasp onto it, capture it within your hands like water from a river only to realize it is but a mirage in a desert full of sand. With tormented tears you cry out as the sand slips between your fingers and your parched throat silences your screams.
It is fine that Time waits for no one. Time, please don’t lurk after me.
