Tic toc

Time goes by

It slips through fingers

Each day that passes -- By

Our graves

Dug deeper

Cousin to death is sleep

I choose to stay awake

Passing each second

With every minute

Hours I'll take

To make

Lemonade

With lemons given

The clock only halts

when we waltz and woo

Around it's tics

Listening as it tocs (talks)

Can you

Hear as it calls upon you

To do what --Soul

Is called to do

"Time moves slowly but passes quickly." - Alice Walker
