The Clock Ticks
The clock ticks
breaking the silence
of a sobbing heart
and time goes on ...
the hands slowly creep
taunting as they move
around a neverending circle
reminder of days begotten
What is time but a recollection
of regret, sadness or possibly splendor
that with each passing moment
slowly fades into blurred memories
Seconds, minutes and hours
each moment vital to our soul
carrying with it potential or loss
filling us with hopes and dreams
Time moves on continuously
as does our journey in this life
never constant, forever changing
for it is the one thing we can't control
The clock ticks
and in the silence
my heart begins to heal
within an emerging future ....

Lauren,
ReplyDeleteYou know that I believe you're a literary genius and this poem illustrates why. The way you depict the clock's hands plodding along to the down mood is simply spectacular. Shakespeare wrote "sad hours seem long." You captured Shakespeare's spirit here! Wow, simply amazing; you think along the same lines as the eternal master!
