Grandfather

watching grandfather again
just waiting for him to come full circle
his voice swings like a pendulum
resonating on the approaching hour
it is at hand, the security 
the smell old ceder is so sedating
and the ringing so deafening
grandfather come full circle once more
make me whole again, I need to remember this
keep me grateful, for all my precious time
take my hand, guide me to a place long forgotten
a happy child once, laid in front you
just waiting for the day
but you must have been ashamed
cause I didn't hear you tick tocking
anymore
