Hold Time

If you could balance time
On the tip of your finger
It would be like glass
Catching the light of yesterday
Fooling you into thinking its tomorrow

If you could hold time in the palm of your hand
It would puddle like water
Sleek, silver hours would leap up out of the waves
Splash down in another hemisphere

If you could hold time tightly
Between thumb and finger
It would shine for you
Like a coin
Like a sun
Like a hundred things you give more value to than now

Flip it high into the air

If it comes down heads
Proceed to your next breath

If it comes down tails
Give yourself a goodnight kiss
And sing yourself to sleep
