Tick Tock Tick Tock

TICK TOCK TICK TOCK We can never catch up with the Clock and time, No matter the length of this Solar rhyme, The sun rises in the east every Brilliant morning, As a new wondrous day, Begins dawning. It sets in the west every evening, Each country having its own Particular calling, And slowly a moon rises, In all its glory Foretelling of romances, each A unique story! According to our predictable calendar, Things haven’t changed, says Our lunar traveller, The moon will eternally rise In the east And will always set in the west. In between it wanes or Becomes full, Gravitation of the moon and It's pull, Causes tides of oceans, Be it low or high, That no man would deign to deny! Again this movement of oceans Help us, To measure time, as it Gallops ahead, It overtakes us and before, We know it we're dead! For human beings, also Have a cycle, We are born, we live And we die, This is a truth, about something, No one can lie, Long lives or short, we are also Affected by age and time, As nearer to heaven, We hopefully climb And, the world revolves, On its axis, As surely as man has to Pay his taxes! But thank-you God for allowing And giving Us humans, more than a 24 hour cycle, That we may enjoy our children And life, Just sad for the poor, who Have to strive! The Sun, moon and oceans Have a 24 Hour cycle each day, Confirming how surely, creation Went forward His way! Bringing Summer, Autumn, Winter or Spring, Each season doing its very Own unique thing Responsible for this work of art, And time Is The One I had in mind, When I began this rhyme, Our Maker, And Divine Creator!

Robert dear friend - Time is an abstract gem that we should treasure - our lives are transient in this infinite time, and for as long as God deems fit! Thank-you Robert - I truly value your comments. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Hi Gershon - thank you for a lovely comment - time waits for no man - death and taxes - the two sure things in life! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Your words make a lot of sense, Jenny. The creator's clock goes neither fast nor slow, and it's our mind which tricks us into believing that we can somehow control it. ~ Warm regards // paul

We cannot control what is destined - quite true Paul. Rather scary, I've heard of so many people I know lately who are so ill - no one knows what lies in store - we must enjoy life Paul, every second counts. Warm regards ang hugs, Jenny.

"Each season doing its very Own unique thing Responsible for this work of art, And time" - this is a poem within this poem, and it would have been enough by itself, my friend. Happy Easter.
