Life’s Incessant Ticker

Right to left unending, symbolic contractions shifting,
Ever moving, sometimes changing,
Relentless revisions, kaleidoscope of rainbows,
Bringing joy or sorrow, gain or loss.

Right to left unending, contracted symbols adjusting
Ever moving, never changing,
Impassive equivalence, grayscale of monochromes,
Bringing boredom, malaise and discontent,

Life’s incessant ticker continues in its ticking—
The beauty of its change is in its viewer’s heart.

Amen to that last line!

Great work, here, Steaven!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

this reminded me of that little clicking box that you use when you are learning to paly the piano...I can't think of the name of it to save my life right now...just woke up, but I love this write, so true to life.

Welcome to Passions!

passing shadows,

I think you are thinking of a metronome.  (The inspiration for this is the stock ticker that always runs above my browser, )

btw,  thanks all for the comments.
