Tic Tock

Tic tock it’s just a clock 
seemingly  it never stops
A pendulum that ever swings 
Every hour the chimes will ring 
Hypnotic dance , she steals our calculating mind 
Love of life romancing us ,distracting us from passing time
Wisdom’s chime from distant place will call us like a nagging wife
Sweet the spell ,her snug embrace distracts and fades the menace cry
Oh that temptress dances well 
So we dance on and on with life
Until our dance grows weary
Until our love grows dreary
Until the midnight hour invade
Until the dancing stops
We never stop to realize
We were dancing to the Ticking of
The rhythm of the clock 
The clock’s wound down
There is no sound
And so the dancing
Stops
Tic
Tock
