Ravenous Clocks

Time goes sprinting by.
Like an animal it flees.
Seconds   Minutes   Hours   Days.
Quickly ticked away.
The clock is a hungry mouth.
Eating away all the time.

Eagerly it goes.
Swiftly sailing, soaring.     Gone.  
A thousand years in a blink.
Then your time is spent.
You can only hope to know,
Exactly where your time went.
