A Slow Time Poem by Victoria Hardy

A Slow Time

Rating: 3.5


A stranger's laugh it was
Loud yet familiar
Caught my attention
And slowed the universe down.
Shame how defeated human kind is...
To the memories of each other.
Sometimes blurry,
and sometimes crystal clear.
Yet it comes unexpected
To take you back.
When you're holding tightly
To the present.
It comes,
From the laughters,
Of even a total stranger...
Tearing your heart apart
Like a sharp knife.
Then you face the man
When time is in the slowest form.
And you notice that
The laugh belonged to no one
But that man...
Suddenly time reverts
To its fast ticking
While you walk away
Once again, looking down.
