Five minutes

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)

Rhymed
I've said so many things
In so many different ways
With thoughts that lead to dreams
Of dreams left in the hays
I check how life is going
Through these invisible days
In these five minute reviews
Where i'm still here in this play
I see myself so clearly
In this ever complex stay
One moment will be my last
Five minutes of crazy
Meaning is getting deeper
While little seems to be laid
I wish i prayed more frequently
Or meditated 'till I felt okay
The true me was here five minutes ago
And I let her slip away
