Time is Ticking Down

_Tick. _


_Tick. _


_Tick. _


_Tick. _



You hear the time tick down

Its sand a silken gown

Sand’s hands are wrapped around

Your ever-thinking crown



_Tick. _



The sound infests your mind


_Tick. _


A never-ending sign


_Tick. _


That one day you will die


_Tick. _


And your life will be mine




_Tick. _




It’s growing faster still



_Tick. _


_Tick. _



As time does drink its fill



_Tick. _


_Tick. _



And sand will overspill



_Tick. _


_Tick. _



As fish will rot their gills





_Tick. _




The arrows racing through




_Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick _




And your heart beats in tune




_Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick _




You’re spilling out blue rue




_Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick _




It will be over soon.
