The Stopping Clock

Tick tock tick tock A metronome Always the same But the clock does and will stop Emotion and love somehow holding the pendulum back The gravity of a moment so important Time itself now against itself Time lost to time but given back in later years Unforgotten a beautiful memory

Interesting perspective, Nigel. Time seems to stop when we're in our heydays, but it catches up with us quickly later in life. Very intriguing. Best wishes, Carolyn
