Tick, Tick, Tick
A cadence remains
Every night
I light a candle
Watch the flame dance
Knowing only its touch will burn
~
Tick, Tick, Tick
I listen with distant
Intent on understanding
What is now truly
Heart-felt
Emotion timed and true
~
Tick, Tick, Tick
Laying on my couch
As I have since the fall
A couple of seasons ago
And yet still the answers
Live inside my veins like water
~
Tick, Tick, Tick
Now I’m a clock
Set to go off at a later date
Too many realities around me
Suggest I have to wait
Patiently like an incessant snooze
~
Tick, Tick, Tick and forever
Smooth is God’s measure
Beautiful, as always. Love the vivid imagery you have created here 🙂
