I look at it
There is my past
And there lies my future
Times servant, counting down each moment
Watching as I live a life
The keeper of routine
The tick tock of the time clock

At times I’d love to stop it
Turn the hands back a ways  
Change some beginnings
Take some chances
But the then has gone to memory
There has been the tick tock of the time clock

Time is space
A little used
And much to explore
Monitoring its movement
Taking down notes
Is the tick tock of the time clock

Oblivious to the countdown
We age by the second
Maybe not as we prefer  
But wait, it will not
Forever does rule
The tick tock of the time clock

It measures an existence
The where, the when
On wall or on person
Doing its business
Tick tock, the time clock

"Tick tock, the time clock"

A keeper indeed.
Well done Rick.

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again....
