My life resembles a clock
constant swaying
be that as it may, estimated
each nanosecond cherished
hells chimes are calling
is it time for retribution?
Rewind the clock, I say
favor me one more day
my proceeded voyage here
will be without dread
as the pendulum swings
a frictionless turn
entrancing movement
My life so finely tuned
expect no takeoff soon
my life resembles a clock
interminable uproar
see no motivation to stop
tick tock

Thank you so much, Phillip! It’s interesting to go back and read our older poems. I published this in 2/2017 and sometimes wonder what possessed me to write this!?
