Time passes too quickly

You lay down in the forest
"Just five minutes", you say to the trees
"Five minutes to be alone. Then I can get up and go on living"
You close your eyes

When you open them again the saplings around you have grown massive, and your hair has turned to moss
"You were gone too long", the trees whisper
"They've forgotten all about you"
