Each Tick

Each tick that tocks my daily clock
Slips a stitch from out my frock
That lends unto a leaner lace
One less moment in this place

And when the wick stood sending light
I gathered up the threads at night
And wove a shelter for each dawn
And mixed it with the dew of morn

Painted it with hues of sky
All the colors in its lie
Weaving it with ties of bond
And knotted it with knots of fond

It wears me well the weathers grime
Considering the space of time
And I repair it patiently
Against the clocks reality

For each tick that tocks my clock
Slips a stitch from out my frock

Awww...Seymour...I can knit a mean set of mittens, a scarf and a hat... so don't worry. If you should slip a stitch of time - I'll keep you warm. Thanks for this sunny Sunday's thoughts to ponder. hugs, Chris

Ahh Sy...and no one brought you tea when you slipped a stitch?
I've a fresh pot brewed...just for two.
~Morning hugs & tea, Nancy~

Sir Sy....

I hope my frock weathers time as well as
your own has.  And I hope your own weathers
for many stitches yet to come.

AHA...you caught me! I almost tocked this off as a real tick, thinking that you had caught me this morning, reading Donne's [u]The Flea[/u]...but no...no...you just have to go and produce another

Well, I must tell you Mr. T., that I have this picture in my mind of you wearing a frock with gaping seam and trimmed in lace! You do look the part of an Elizabethan sonneteer!

Enjoyed the spill from your quill!

a stitch in time~
brings a hug to you
and a smile upon mine~
face that time cant erase~
morning to you sir

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~
