Sail Away

Every second is a day
a life an opportunity no other way
and what if i chose to sit back
place my feet up and rest
close my eyes and dream
no longer put to any test
no longer under any pressure
safe and secure hiding under
my blankets watching as the
seconds roll by
waiting as the moments fly by
with nothing on my mind
but a coming wind
in from the east and out to the west
every second of every day
making way
for nothing
the world creeps by while I stare
at numbers that stop as I glaze
time goes slower as you stare
at the clock then say
sure time slows down but
the world keeps going
