Ticking Clock

I am under the sound of a ticking clock An awesome sound that compiles over some time I live under the noise of the clock’s tick tock A noise only heard by the strange and sublime Like two hands intertwined as one top unit Feelings of love aligned, not a broken fit Never do we hear the ticking of the clock And think of chaos and a disruptive tock

the ever ticking clock. Yes, it is all about order and not chaos. for me it's not awesome though, I wish it would just stop sometimes!!! (when life is at its very best!!)

So meaningful, Russell! A ticking clock is like a reminder on what to do and not to do to our life's next chapter! Its great that a simple tick tock was given focus that also plays an important message to our lives! All the best! Your friend! Love,love,love! :-) - Den

Time does tick away..My mother-in-law had a mantel clock when my husband and I first married and that clock was so loud that I could hardly stand it..It could be heard all over the house..Guess what I got from my husband's inheritance?..Right you guessed it..She had painted the clock years ago and when she did it quit running so I have mantel clock that doesn't run..I plan on getting it repaired though..Thanks for the visit to my page..I do not like spider webs..I don't want a spider in ...Sara

the house..I enjoy looking at webs outside and enjoy seeing spiders at work outside but not where it might hurt someone or the web touch me ..One day I found a dirtdobber's nest and I tore it down and inside was nothing but blackwidow spiders..I was shocked that it could find that many of them right at my home..Sara
