Tick Tock

Tick, tock, tick,tock 
time to stop this hurried clock
pause a while and take a breath 
no escaping eventual death.

Do the things you want to now 
take that trip, go on vacation
what is with this hesitation?
wipe that sweat off of your brow. 

Hurry hurry don't procrastinate 
take the time to meditate
stop the hurry, stop the clock
feel the sea breeze from the dock

before the curtain falls 
and death your name in hurry calls.
