Clock ticks

Folder: 
book 15

Down hall

     in another room

a pendulum swings

     each second ticks

 

darkness reigns

     and dim glows

reflects barely

     on polished brass

 

quietly sit I

     slow passes time

in anguished thought

     answers are lost

 

seeking for

     things that I know

are not to be

     simply are not

 

darkness will not

     in the coming day

fade away

     will always be

 

continuing on

     knowing not where

no way is found

     where I would be

 

chimes the hours

     slipping away

in darkness now

     will always be

Adored clocks in the younger

Adored clocks in the younger years, even had a grandfather clock and a working original cuckoo clock. But then came the time when the ticking was like the incessant dripping of a leaky tap that in the end saw the offending clock bundled up in a beach towel and exiled in the washing machine which was located in the furthest opposite corner of the house, just to get a night's sleep.
