"Tick Toc"
says My old Grandfathers clock.

"Bah" sez I,
I've all the time in the world..

Ticked away in the corner,
the last seconds,
of my "Old Folks" lives

My Family.

Black Forest wood,
Belgium chimes,
English face,
The hands are of Time.

Marking paces,
as I age.

How many turns?
since 1750?

How many lives,
rocked gently, down to zero?

My legacy,
Oh keeper,
of time.

My curse,
to not see you unwind.

How many more turns,
left,
'till gently I drift,
out on that black sea.

"Tick Toc"
"Tick Toc"

Till mine ears no longer hear,
My Family...

Nice twist click, enjoyed.

then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

Very mystical and enchanting.  There is a watch on the desk next to me, and I could hear it ticking throughout the piece.  I enjoyed this!  Thanks for sharing.
