And The Days Are Not Full Enough

Rating: ★3.7
And the days are not full enough
And the nights are not full enough
And life slips by like a field mouse
      Not shaking the grass

Some years ago, my favourite tumblr blog was named " Like a field mouse" . I read this beautiful poem there and it stuck with me ever since, coming to me whenever I feel a little down. I remember you Alec. I hope you are well.
