The Clock

Tic tic toc 
Just started the clock
No place to go
No answer, don't knock.

I'm working away
At my favorite hobby
Rhyming and writing
Oh Loddy Loddy.

To write is to breath
To breath is to write
To take in all my words
In morning and night.

I sing and I dance
In public or home
Yet I always am moving
In my own zone.

Freestyle I will
In poetry and song
Rappers might do it
I cheer them along!

So live, love and pray
Enjoy life you see
Because everyday
Is a mystery.
