Excellence Award in the 'National Treasures 2022' competition

Take me to a place,
In which the world seems to slow.
Before the clocks are restarting,
Before time lets us go.
Where I’m not thinking for tomorrow,
Or held captive by the past.
I’ve arrived, come undone,
And exhaling deep at last.
For my minds been put at ease,
Embracing peace, I shall persist.
Like the water, I’ve learnt calm,
No longer here to just exist.
Let’s hold this moment for a while,
For time is in pursuit again.
Take me to a place,
In between now and then.
