Each Tick |

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~ ~ Love, like magic, depends on believing. ~ |

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! EA |
