Time As A Blur

86,400 in a day

I do not feel present in my consequences

In the hurry of existence, faces are a blur and fading

Faster than the knowledge I can attain

Sustaining the memories I cannot keep up with

 

Running in a sea of emotions

I am a part of the rest

Like specs in water or air in sky

The hazed face of a dream that is vaguely remembered

This is humanity in whole

 

Being surrounded in a sea of bodies

Depicting my face through the crowd

I am only an absolute of partial wellbeing
