~* The Clock Ticks On *~

Strangely I feel my inner child inside,
cowering from the future, all alone I hide.
Deafening is the clock ticking of tomorrow,
and my mind’s eye evokes so much sorrow.

It awaits me and my last breath,
from dusk 'til dawn it does not rest.
But the sun was bright and brought about desire.
The moon now is wild, and does inspire.

If storms of change come crashing down,
the Lord of Light will lend me his crown.
My mind will speak to the shadows on the wall;
with words of love I will make them all fall.

My clock keeps ticking, I hear the sound,
but with faith, my feet stay firm on the ground.
He said, "Search your soul, and heaven’s blue sky,
and listen with your heart to the songbird's cry".

"Jump up and down, dance, sing, scream and shout,
before you rest your head on a shore of doubt.
It's there in doubt you dream a dreamer's lie,
dream of faith and love, this will get you by."

Still mesmerized, I awoke in morning’s rays,
knowing to make the most of my remaining days.
Somehow, all my fears in the night were gone.
There's time to change, as the clock ticks on.
