Tick Tock

All that was heard
tick tock, tick tock, tick tock,
life begins
and ends
by the clock.

Very true....everything we do seems to be run by the clock. I quit wearing my watch because I like the illusion that perhaps time doesn't control me completely after all...but it's only illusion. I still have to follow a schedule like everyone else. *sigh* Very nice poem! ~Juliane
