Half past deluded

 Big Ben was giving it large last night,

hands waving furiously.

I said “you tock too much but you mind’s not ticking.”

Time has no value. It’s not precious or cheap.

That’s your fantasy.

People give time worth because it is their time.

Time doesn’t care what value you attach to it.

But there’s one thing time tells you is that the more you deliberate

on the past and future the more you miss out

on its most priceless quality –the present moment.

The Now.
