Time is of the essence

As I do not believe in tarot card readings, I do not keep any. Therefore, today's challenge is not meant for me. However, instead of picking a card and writing a poem inspired by it, I will write a poem inspired by an image on my randomly thrown Rory's Story Cubes®, which act as prompts for stories when one is feeling uninspired.

Below is an image of the dice after being thrown. I have chosen to write a poem inspired by the clock die. Enjoy!

Rory's Story Cubes®

If time did not fly

If time did not fly,

I'd sit and stare more;

stare at nothing 

and think more

If time did not fly,

I'd be silent more often;

listening,

observing more

If time did not fly,

I'd read more;

I'd smell the pages

and savour each word

If time did not fly,

I'd sip my coffee;

I'd smell the roses

and look up at the sky

If time did not fly,

I'd learn more;

I'd be wiser

and live more
