Pamela Vardy Poet Free verse

No Tick Nor Tock

Watching silent hands 
Changing time in the darkness 
No tick nor tock just number changes
Illumining the shadows  

A small window of time
My eyes become heavy and weary 
I nod off for what feels a life time 
And the clock says NO 

Day light creeps upon the darkness 
Birds start the morning ritual
Night into day 
Where did the hours go

Watching silent hands 
No tick nor tock 
A new day has begun 
I guess I better get on
