This poem is included in my Book/eBook ‘Clive’s Uni-Verse – A Cornishman’s take on life’. Published by Olympia Publishers in Jan 2022. Just one of a 100 of my best-loved poems included in this book,
Tick-tock and then chime;
Our life-clock beats
Our precious time out,
As it slowly depletes.
No-one can know when
Their own 'clock' will stop,
Will it end on a tick ...
Or will it end on a tock?
Each hour on the dot
Our clocks clearly chime,
To remind us all
Of our passing time.
Use your time wisely,
For ye know not when,
As engraved on the sun-dial;
On the church at St Wenn.
