- Ticking Time -

    Time is reality
    A deck of cards
    with a joker
    Coincidences
    does make a difference

    Draw the ace
    don't be picky
    Steady steps
    mechanically driven
 
    Time, a macabre prank
    sinks deep
    The night train maintains its route

Valsa George Date: 3/8/2024 3:17:00 AM The pendulum of the clock swings fast and time fleets away before any one can slower its pace. So enjoy every moment that we get. Many things happen as a coincidence and we are to some extent helpless. Without change, things will move as designed ! Great poem. Congratulations Anne on your POTD. Love and hugs!
