A Pendulums Time

I swing on a pendulums time
Slowly turning into grime
Singing praises in my mind
Feeling notes, the Braille of blind

Charging into windmills lie
Hung upon their arms in sigh
Swung within dimensions core
Only this and nothing more

Perhaps with age will come my peace?
I saw it once a living niece
Osmotic in its force of flow
Drifting into I don’t know

I tick each way and tock each cross
And see the mirrors drain and loss
Yet cannot grace the flowers breath
The turn of beauty into death

And cannot turn the other cheek
The dark of nothing is too bleek

there is a greatness in you who forms such beauty in words...and it struggles to know you...and you know it...singing a soft gentle siren in the atmosphere, come, let us be...

Sy, Good Morning...and thank you for a lovely write...

Your tick of tock has rocked my stock...
and now I must look into the mirror again.

I thought that was me that I saw...
perhaps it was just my imagination.

I am seeing you being swung around all over the place! ~ on a pendulum, a windmill, a clock...and then there were the hurricanes!

Is there no rest for you, my sonneteering "flower"? You must be out of "breath"! I am gently blowing an angel breeze your way to replace what has been knocked out of you.....)))))))))))))))))))))

Loveya!

Sy,
   I've been trying to figure out a reply to this, but am not very poetic and have a hard time thinking about death, but I suppose it is a real thing, not sure, maybe it's cyclic.  I think about the flower in its bloom and just marvel, but do I look at the seeds that are planted, seemingly invisible?  The seeds are the real marvel, a continuance of what's good.  You are quite the gardener, Sy.  A pendulum won't change that fact!  
  A tremendous write.

Thinking about fading away makes each second so much more glowing deep inside my butterflies inside my stomach inside a large world inside an endless galaxy I fade into beauty, love, poems, rhyme, lust, hate, want, need, passion, laziness, sorrow, glee, laughter, sex, dreams, nightmares, flaws, future, pain, and beginnings never ending till I'm gone. so much more I've missed with only words to describe this vastness.

One has to make the most of the ticks and tocs else we become old crocks before our time. Captivating piece Seymour.
