Prompt 88: Shift in Time

Thanks to Nathalie of Spaced Law for this week's prompt, shift in time. Here are her image and poem:

Hours after minutes after seconds
Every single blinking moment
A subtle shift
No more than a sleight of hands
From the clock
Stealing time from under our feet.

We turn around
And tomorrow isn't quite
That other day any more
Too busy becoming yesterday.

Time is a strange phenomina; once lost, hard to get back. Sometimes fast, other times slow. You captured part of this in your verse. Very nice and something I can relate to.

Does time shift or does our perception of time shift.
