LOST TIME?

I have lost a day, and

in the next ten days there

may be more

My work load has grown and

my hours have increased

with my coworkers vacation time

again

PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH ME

-found this poem below

thought it may be appropriate

~Time Lost~
There was the sun

And with it the blue sky.

Seems I didn't notice;

Seems I didn't care.

Though surely they were always there.
Days had no night and nights had no day.

Time might have existed

But not that it made sense.

Never asleep, though never awake,

The body just breathed for breathing's sake.
Was there a yesterday?

There must have been.

For how else did I get from there,

So long ago, all the way to here?

None of it is one bit clear.
Has it been as long as I think?

Not days, weeks or months, but years.

Yet for some unknown reason I'm still here.

Today the weariness seems to tell the cost

Of the tolls still taken by this long time lost.
