Tik Tak...

 

The clock needles move...

 

Tik Tak…

 

The digital numbers proceed one another…

In silence… still…

 

Tik Tak…

 

Time… relentless… never ending… Ad Aeternum…

 

Tik Tak…

 

Seconds.

Minutes.

Hours.

Days.

Months.

Years…

Look at all those fears…

And… sure… tears.

 

Tik Tak…

 

Decades.

Centuries.

Millennia.

Million, Billion… Gazillion.

 

Tik Tak…

 

Can move forward…

Or be a count-down…

 

Tik Tak…

 

As some explosive… ready to blow…

 

Tik Tak…

 

Oh… Why? Oh… time thou hadst devour all things?

What never-ending famine thou must feel inside thy belly…

 

Tik Tak…

 

Tik Tak…

 

Tik Tak…

 

The man looked at the clock…

And felt a never dying anguish…

 

Tik Tak!

 

Memento Mori

Time is the ancient bedrock that civilizations went by, rose up then died, marked dates of history, used for farming, seasons, schooling and everything under the sun. Please hold your umbrella when it rains.
Excellent...
