Tyranny Of Time Poem by leonard daranjo

Every minute of the day
Every second
I am dying
And so is
Everybody and everything else

Time’s unceasingness
Creates ripples in its confluence with consciousness

Can I just forget death for a moment
and free myself from the tyranny of time?
Can I just slow down and say
Hey, it doesn’t matter because
No matter what you do
The end is always the same?

Can I just take time outside of time to feel
The inhalation and exhalation of my life breath
without any strings attached?
Can I just feel the power of the life force
in its purest form, uncorrupted of its pressures?
Can I just sit down and ignore the clock
and allow my consciousness to expand to
take in life’s holistic meaning?

If I can do all this
And remain unmoved
I shall be free
