Ten, Ten Again

A Poem

 

Ten, Ten Again

the turning arms of time flicker with every second
nine, nine three zero
talking to a world unknown, unseen
hoping for the very best
wishing, praying for something clean

nine, nine five three
sitting inside a fuel box while taking in the chemicals
it impairs my visionary state of thought
blurry random expressions come and go
nothing, nothing is worth the questioning

seeing as time rolls on and on without stopping
nine, nine five eight
nothing will stop the arms of life from moving
the scary glimpse of something broken apart
will infect the challenged train of thought

nine, nine five nine
a world unknown, unseen
gasp, for something clean
grab hold of her hand, don’t let go
jump into the shallow deep
ten, ten again

I like this. Makes you think for a moment. Time, what do we really know about it. We watch a clock. it seems like it controls are life instead of the other way. Time; counting down to some thing. Or up too. This is a really good peace. Makes you really stop and think.
Thyank you.

nothing will stop the arms of life from moving... so true. I use to wonder as a child if I could stop time but no, I never could and it still fascinates me. Wonderful writing...
