Guardian of Broken Watches

In this house of shadows,
pendulums are riveted to every wall,
there is a constant unsettling alarm,
and dreams tick by in slow moving hands
of Daliesque perpetuity.

(smiles) Ooohhhhhh...this reminded me of that painting from Salvador Dali about time and melting clocks and that surreal dream, this is sooooooo inventive! I love it, you swing the pendulum of emotions with your beautiful words! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is fabulous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Corrine, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Naoh Eaton
