i would rather this day did not end

time is passing

there are sights and sounds and textures

there are tastes and explorations

to be felt   made   done

experienced   i really do not want to spend

those precious hours asleep

dreaming

is fine   but we will have time enough to dream

time has slowed over these last

two months

yet the days fly by   bye bye days   come again soon

i would rather this day did not end

time is passing   

but my eyes are   c l o s i n g   in spite of my rathers
