Timing

Here’s how to make time fly:
Jump out of a window.
In the blink of an eye
you will kiss a shadow.

Here’s how to stretch it out:
Light lips but don’t shout.
Store power in restraint.
Curse not, resist not, faint.

Finding some time is worse.
It only comes in spurts.
Fleeting ghosts in a room
whispering soon soon soon.

Forgiving time is best.
Leap from valley to crest.
Turn about, smile and rest.
Want not to have messed.
