TERMINAL
The ticking of the clock Echoes in the silence Of the room. Time, Like my life Ebbing away.

The clock of the awaiting. One reason why we must keep busy and active, no matter how old we are. No clocks when the lights go out, just infinity in blackness >> James :)

Hi Sylvia I forgot to mention my other site to you, because I have an idea that you will enjoy reading my poetry while you listen to music that I had personally included in all of my poetry here is the link :) www.poetrypoem.com/poet3238 Thank you again for all of your kind thoughts because you have truly made my day a very special one because of your comments that you have left me on my poetry, Sincerely Dean

Hi Sylvia I have a poem called sitting in the terminal waiting on a plane that I think you may enjoy just as much as I have enjoyed this poem of yours today, and by the way I stopped wearing my watch because I don't like to keep looking at it to see how much time has slipped away , Yet every day I do wake up with the early morning sun because it is my natural time clock to remind me that I was promised another day, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on my poetry . GBYA sincerely Dean
