The Secret Of The Clocks


We're all just clocks and we're all just ticking. What did you tick today?

Did you tik of love, or tok of peace?
Did you chime at midnight rest? 

Or did you leave the gift of time, to a watch of far more less? 

For it is we who guard it's ancient lane, as we and it progress, the future upon our face is written, just tik and tok your best.

And every clock you see today, your hands be holding true, for the truth of tik and tok is this, every clock be you. 

Now tik and tok along with all, a chorus made so great, the future know we guard its right, to peace, and love, and faith.

No matter how we clocks, look or sound in tune, remember time goes best, because they're ticking toking too. 

And every time you've tik and toked, making sure you knew, all the hands on every clock had dared to also move.

 All good clocks do chime together, across the world and it's land, and when all good clocks have come together we'll finally stand a chance.

The metaphor of clocks is powerful, interesting and may I say humbling. I enjoyed the meter and rhyme and especially appreciate your style of line composition. Some poets really stand out in Poetry Soup and you are one of them. Thanks for sharing your work!
