'ancient Clock'

The sundial is a clock of time, an eternal path of the sun; and I have one in my garden for fun. It is not the sort of clock to chime, for without the sun it is sleeping; it needs the sunshine to be creeping. A light dance down and dance up climb, I have one in my garden- intense; with words poetically immense, with words that move me to pen rhyme. Oh, nothing in this life endures; so, don't let yesterdays be your lures. Oh, embrace all of time's sublime, Browning wrote- grow along with me; the best is yet to be- agree? The sundial is a clock of time, it is not the sort of clock to chime; a light dance down and dance up climb, with words that move me to pen rhyme; oh, embrace all of time's sublime. _________________________________ February 18, 2019- Edit Poetry/Rhyme/'Ancient Clock' Copyright Protected, ID 19-1119-215-02 All Rights Reserved.
