The Human Clock

The Ticking Hands Of Time🌹

'Human Clock'

Tick tock-
The human
Robot-
What a
Lot of
Time we
Think we've
Got-
Not realising
How the
Repetitions
Of life
Drains the
Life out
Of our
Veins-
Like a machine
We
Exist-
Motionless
To the turning
Of times
Hands-
Distant
From Gods
Plan-

Controlled
Without
Letting go-
To this
Illusion
Full of
Confusion-

Finding
A place
In time-
Reflecting
Inner
Yearning-
But not
Discerning
The
Truth
Lost
Along with
Youth-

When the
Seconds of time,
Play with
Your mind-
What was
There to find-
In this
Motionless
Time-

The clock
Didn't stop-
And the
Mind
Overwound
Without closure-
To the
Exposure
Of what
Each second
Did
Hold-
When the
Heart turned
Cold
And the
Life ran
Dry-
So many
Questions
Still remain-
Why?

How timely. Someone's sick in the family and I've been worried today, waiting for results and all that. Thanks for this reminder of mortality. I love the poem btw. Shelved.

i like the poem we have that human clock inside us, it is our key to survival and it is also what makes our fate too. nice written one as always

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Thankyou for the kindness, sometimes that clock loses its timing and needs redirection🌹

ohhhh dear friend ..i do love this poem ..love the broken cadences and the use of dashes to elongate my pausing ...such a wonderful introspective reality of "time" ..i think this is a top notch voice of yours..well done says i ..and this in particular tickles me fancy:
"There to find-
In this
Motionless
Time- "
i felt suspended ... too cool! and the scattered yet structured use of rhyme propelled me on at perfect moments ... in time ... ;)

So caring are your words Thankyou for your insight and taking time really means a lot🌹Yes-time is what we hold in our hands, the strength within the grasp is what decided how our lives pages will be turned🌹

The display, the words set in passing movement, clock time, good rhyme.. clever! Through time those questions stand in an ever=-growing queue. Doubt Man will ever have time enough to answer! Many thanks for sharing... ..

Choice lies within each one of our hearts it’s answers only each one of us can search and find🌹

[emmajoy]

More than likely. Writers have reasons for writing something. The reviewer interprets how the words read. I thought your poem was more about passing Time than choices. Please forgive my stupidity

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Never apologise or use the words stupidity-which you are far from, I was just agreeing with your comment because choices take us to time and place, and yes I agree I don’t think people (man) will make enough time or have enough🌹
