Countdowns

Countdowns feel infinite,

Especially when we look forward

To something that creeps closer,

But remains feeling

Far away.

As we long for

Time to pass,

It 

Stays constant,

Feels distant,

And,

Is formulaically,

Going to last.

We look to find

Ways to pass the time,

But the time

Passes us

When we want to enjoy it,

And halts

When we want it to progress.

Time and its

Pacing

Is to be cherished

As it

Stops,

Starts,

And

Continues

To go.
