Tick-Tock
As time goes by
Moving along with a purpose
Tick-Tock
Ending the old
Beginning the young
Tick-Tock
Yielding to none
Stopping for nothing
Tick-Tock
Recording life
Creating eras
Continuing years
Tick-Tock
Embodiment of love
Creator of space
Tick-Tock
Running out
Spin into oblivion, but it won’t stop
Tick-Tock
Time is a mystery
But it creates history
Tick-Tock
Coming to an end
Moving to its final destination
Bringing everything with it
Tick-Tock
Builds a rhyme
A poem
A hymn
Tick-Tock
Ruler of space
Of earth
Of us
Tick-Tock
When it stops
So do we
And everything, that is
Tick-
A whirlpool of emotions comes crashing in
The rhythm of your heart beats out of tune
You control your time
When it’s up, you decide
-Tock
When you’re done
You stop the clock
Turn off the lights
And hear your last sound;
Though pleasant to the ear, dangerous as time
Tick-Tock
Your time only stops when you give up.
With no love in your heart, or hope in your soul, time folds in on itself.
Leaving you in a pocket, alone.
