Notes About The Poem

Clock Ticks

clock ticks
                                       moment fleeting
                                  gossamer calm twilight 
                                 glistening vermilion aura
                    Sun leaving, painting sky with crimson hue
                              past poignant, divine, eternal 
                               breathtaking present thrills
                                         limitless charm
                                            clock ticks
