Oh my goodness, be still my beating heart. This like -> The clock becomes a lover and a thief—

we chase its face across the burning day,

collecting joys as temporary, brief

as breath on glass that fades and falls away.

GORGEOUS!

Josh, you’ve captured the fleeting beauty of life so gracefully. Your words remind us that the essence of living is not in holding onto moments, but in chasing them, loving them while they last, and opening our hearts to the next ones with the same wonder. I came across your post after a long time. I hope you don't mind.

I love your poem, it has everything. The fear of time flowing incessantly (I can't live without a watch on my wrist) and the love of the chase, the instability that frightens us but is the electric shock of life. Thanks for making me think with your words, let's read each other of you like, have a nice day!
