faster and faster

the spin of the world
is quicker now.
the clocks are all
moving at a swift
click. how is it that
years and decades
keep falling by.
you want to put your
foot out and slow
it down, keep
the children young
for just a little
while longer. keep
healthy, keep love,
keep this state of
mind. this hard
earned contentment
forever in tact.

Yes! I totally know what you mean. For a long-time I've felt as though the world is spinning faster and faster on its axis -- making time itself more condensed somehow. Not only does it speed up the aging process, sometimes everything unfolds so quickly that we're likely to not notice so many delicate mysteries.
