Time

Time

Written by Adam M. Snow

Tick, tick, tock!

Tick, tick, tock!

Gone are the days,

we hold for granted.

Ticking away, 

our life in canted.

We live not knowing

when the last sand falls,

So we keep on going,

till we hear our clock calls.

It ticks it's tock,

it takes our breath away.

How cruel this clock, 

as it ticks life away?

Gone in an instant

as the pendulum swings,

a day so distant,

that all life brings.

The clock counts down,

in the end we'll be,

another face in a town

- a memory.

Tick, tock! 

Tick, tock!

So true, Adam. Time is the most precious of all gifts we can give to another, and days that must be lived to the fullest.

Reminds me of the song, "Time Passages" by Al Stewart. I enjoyed the read.

I love how different it is of a poem. Everyone can relate to this which is amazing. I find it funny because I just wrote a poem about time too. I got to say that this one is a little better though! It just shows us how important time really is.

One of my favourite themes time. Very nicely written.

I ponder this when I wind my old long-case clock up every sunday, unless I forget. The clock will outlive me and some other sap will wind it up. Nice write and very right.

I agree with your logic. Time is our most valuable item we control. I liked the flow of thoughts and the meaning in the words. Thank you Adam for sharing the amazing poetry.
