I told the flow of time,
to slow down for a while,
to give me a chance,
to think

I need just a bit more,
to leer into my core,
to force emotions,
to shrink

So I can make a plan,
to not be overrun,
to stop my mind's urge,
to sink

Day ends, life's seas I've swum
to end, until I've come
to it, took the time,
to blink
