Tick Tock

And I dont know of anything about the present, 
it only lasts but a second. 
tick tock tick, 
dancing upon a flicker of a flame, 

The future becomes older, 
every minute you live it, 
tick tock tick, 
speeding through lifes game.

hey did you ever see kung fu panda ( I know you must like is she seriosly bringing up a kid movie on my serious poem) it just this poem reminds of my favorite line of the movie: The past is history, the future is a mystery, and what happens now is a gift. That is why it is called the present. :) I enjoy reading your poems justin just hope you chip up
