The day fades away

sun sinking below the horizon

stars take flight

and clouds scuttle past

a dreamscape run amok

as the hours fly past

a blur set to warp

with the knowledge

that time stops

that the world slows

and the axis tilts

beneath the horizon line

that approaches

with every reluctant breath

split apart

living in two attitudes

aspects of life

two places at once

and time runs down

an infinite fall – Caroline A. Slee
