Today is Wednesday,the very second one of the year,
It is a sunny afternoon, though very busy.
We can tell time in whichever dimension,
From whatever place we may be hiding,
For it is one precious gift we all are entitled to,
Much as it doesn't necessarily govern our motives.
This one thing, I have learnt,
That it is because of time that we are judged objectively,
Moreso when we have to accomplish a task in a fixed time frame,
Say for instance study,get a job,get married,buy a vehicle-
For a job well done, we're congratulated,
For a messed up activity, we're cursed to hell
And named after lazy bones or cowards.
All because time is in control!
When the bereaved are robbed of their loved ones,
The world goes still and time should in fact freeze
As they mourn and grieve for their loss,
But the clock keeps on ticking,
Because there are more important alive people
Than the one gone to the world of the dead.
When one falls sick and is excused from class or school,
The term or month doesn't wait for them,
Everything progresses normally like you were never needed,
Because time is in control.
It is one thing, which once lost,
Can never be retrieved,
Neither by magic nor prayer!
Had it been possible to chase after it,
Perhaps we would have the hope of compensating,
But once it's gone,it is really gone forever!
What,then,
Shall we die holding the trigger
Like soldiers in the war zone?
Shall we give up because of what we have lost?
Absolutely, "NO"
What is gone,we cannot retrieve,
But what is left,we can maximumly utilize.
It is very okay to take time off,
To have our wounds and pains heal,
That upon our return, we're fit for the journey.
It does us no harm, accepting that we're late
For it is then that we can concentrate,
In order to attain the goal ahead of us
Within the remaining time,
Short or long as it may be.
Never Say what to do now....
Nature's Clock keeps on ticking,
Past sweet memories keep refreshing,
Future beckons to keep you moving,
Engage yourself in what you missed doing.
Enjoy every Sunrise and Sunset ,
Colourful Chemistry of Nature is cherishing,
Physics of motion will keep you accelerating,
Enjoy Gardening to hear trees speaking,
Mathematics and Statistics is fascinating,
Your Investments will keep Growing,
Chirping Birds will now sound amusing,
Guiding you to adapt to the seasons changing.
With research new technology keeps emerging,
Macro to micro and now to nano, size gets reducing,
With this scientific look out you are now retiring.
For Societal benefits you will always be striving
So, never say what will I do now.....
(Inspired by Joe Bonamassa's "Midnight Hours")
Oh, how I hate
when sunlight has fled,
Misery visits
as I lie in bed.
I simply can’t sleep.
I just feel so bad.
By midnight’s hour
I’m sadder than sad.
The clock keeps on ticking
and louder it seems
as I keep wishing
to fall into dreams
Chorus:
Thoughts of you swirling and swirling around.
Where can the sweetness of comfort be found?
I need to forget you. I’m coming undone.
I beg and I beg
for Oblivion.
Oh to just dream
this sadness away.
Instead with moroseness
the whole night I stay.
If I could only
get some shut-eye.
I’m feeling so blue
I just want to die.
This dirge in the darkness
keeps coming to me.
Please let me escape
my reality.
Chorus:
Thoughts of you swirling and swirling around.
Where can the sweetness of comfort be found?
I need to forget you. I’m coming undone.
I beg and I beg
for Oblivion.
Oblivion take me, take me away.
Oh, for oblivion
each night I pray
(repeat last two lines till end of song)

And here I am again completely weird
But the clock it just keeps on ticking
But not the only reason why I'm tired
And my eyes they keep on flickering
When outside all these flashing lights
The sound of cars keep whishing on by
It's no good all these sleepless nights
If I could get some blink in shut eye
I keep on telling myself sweet dreams
Though most of the time they are vivid
It's like I'm jumping in and out of scenes
And only leaves one restless and livid
Yeah I defiantly need some more r,e,m's
It's like this bad case of sleep depravation
I'm often asked where is it that it all stems
Though I've never been one for relaxation
I need some more rapid eye movement
If I could get some of those sweet lullaby’s
Of course that would be an improvement
To those bags that are under my eyes
Thoughts keep going round in my head
If I could give some rest to my aching bod
I've just got to start getting myself to bed
Though still trying to find the land of nod
Something wanted to write about for a while
couple of verse not to happy with might update in futre
just getting some thoughts out of my head
im sure a lot of people can relate to this
when in my ywenties did not need as much
but so much going on at times find it hard to relax
get in to that third stage of sleep

The heart wants to love,
Yet, we hate.
In the face of chaos,
It steps up to the plate.
The heart wants to understand
Yet, we are confused.
It keeps on pumping in spite of
Being abused.
The heart wants equality
Yet, we dominate one another.
Some are secure,
Others tend to smother.
The heart wants peace
Yet, we fight.
Some see it in black,
Others in white.
The heart wants to give
Yet, we are greedy.
Most need space,
Others to needy.
The heart wants to heal
Yet, we destroy.
A war was fought over a woman,
Her name was Helen of Troy.
The heart wants to care
Yet, we are insensitive.
Time keeps on ticking,
It is infinitive.
The heart can't take the
Break no longer.
If only the heart,
Could be stronger.

You ignore your Soul's cries
(Becoming frozen in resistance)
By Michelle Morris
12/11/2024
You'd rather lose the girl
Than become a better man
You're "happy" to be set in your ways
Be rigid, controlled and bland
You ignore your Heart's voice
You ignore your Soul's cries
You keep it all under Lock and Key
For you think that's where Safety lies
But I've got news for you, my friend
You're merely losing Time
It keeps on ticking over each day
Running through the Sands like Wildfire
Where Ancient Forests get decimated
All Life gets burned to the ground
Tick, tick, tick, tick...
Until there's no longer any Sound
When are you going to take stock
And embrace your deepest Passions?
When are you going to undo the Locks
And allow Love and Light to be in Fashion?
You'd rather listen to sad, heartbreak music
Than risk putting your Heart on the line
You're "happy" caring for nothing
Because you're avoiding feelings sublime
It's way too overwhelming for you
You who want cold and distance
All that ice in your veins is killing you
You're becoming frozen in resistance
But you forget about inflexibility
How it's so very bad for your Soul
If you can't move with Grace and adapt to Life
Your Body's dis-ease is the thing that shows
All that pent up Rage and Hunger
All those emotions stagnant and locked away
You're going to have to break to Free them
It's unfortunately the only way
To let the Light in to warm you
Your Body, Heart, Mind and Soul
To give you Hope and Faith
And Grace and Mercy untold
For you to Survive and Thrive
To become a better you
To eventually let someone in
Who might reveal new Truths
Maybe you'll get the girl next time
Maybe you'll be Happier one day
But until that Miracle occurs
For you I'll just keep Praying

As the clock continues to move forward;
Seconds to minutes, then hours to days.
The time allows more thought of beyond,
What lies ahead and how many ways.
This journey is often prepared by reflection,
Looking at history to judge the events.
As verdicts remain part of the ledger,
That contains few dollars and less sense.
Just as those have traveled before me,
Our lifes' affairs become a burden elsewhere.
When family or friend begin making decisions,
Between life and death and how much to care.
It is here in these later chapters when
Many more questions arise of an afterlife.
Because no matter the amount of early lessons,
One's faith labors on to a midwife.
At this point my questions see direction,
As if gravity shows the way up or down.
To where sudden signs light up the roadway,
And heaven or hell expose a smile or frown.
These efforts fail to offer a conclusion,
As to any ultimate or final resting place.
So as long as the clock keeps on ticking,
I'm resolved to go on laughing in its face.
While this delay may upset a grand father,
My time will continue to populate only the earth.
Where my hands can control the hourglass, and
Those of time must patiently await my rebirth.
Moving forth and backwards
In our own know three dimensions
Is understood and simple
It’s our basic comprehension.
Yet adding in an axial fourth
We become confused
Time just keeps on ticking
All our protests are refused.
Gravity affects the speed
At which our time proceeds
Yet always marching forward
Not affected by man’s deed.
To travel where we wish in time,
Is something we unable
To achieve but we should not
Remove it from the table.
To master temporal travel
Will always be the goal
But who knows what is lurking
Inside of a Black hole
Never giving up the hope
We’ll master it one day,
To travel to the time we want
Is just the human way.
Accepting limitations
Of the possibilities of time
Is how we will stay grounded
But to dream is not a crime.
So for now, keep on watching
Doc Brown and McFly
Time travel may be out there
Just keep reaching for the sky.
I feel the touch of sorrow
as I walk along the shore;
while I watch the seagulls lifting in the air,
and flying toward the crimson sky very low!
Between earth and sky
I never feel lonely;
I hear the palm leaves
rustling in the breeze,
the creamy,puffy clouds drift away...
the pale sun lowers slowly!
Between earth and sky
I never feel lonely;
somewhere there must be someone
to reach and lead me on...
if anyone can fill such an emptiness,
I'll be grateful in return!
I feel the touch of sorrow
while the watch keeps on ticking
the minutes away so fast;
I feel the touch of sorrow
as I watch amazed
the luminous sunset!
I've got a heart that holds the answers.
And I've got the strength to carry on.
And if you think you've got the questions.
I've got the answers, to what you need.
And I've got a clock that keeps on ticking.
I've got a heart that follows along..
I've got a heart that'll last forever.
I've got a heart that'll keep me alive.
It'll keep me alive.
It'll keep me alive..
I've got more than the Tin Man or Scarecrow.
I've got more that The Wizard Of Oz.
When I feel my health's in danger.
I drink from the hardy fountain of youth.
When I drink of that mineral water.
It gives my heart, just what it needs.
Just what it needs.
Just what it needs.
I've got a heart that'll last forever.
I've got a heart that'll keep me alive.
It'll keep me alive.
It'll keep me alive..
I've got more than the Tin Man or Scarecrow.
I've got more than The Wizard Of Oz.
And while my heart's holding out forever.
There will be nothing to keep us apart.
Our heart's will be in bond forever.
And we'll have the strength to carry on.
I've got a heart that'll last forever.
I've got a heart that'll keep me alive.
It'll keep me alive.
It'll keep me alive..
I've got more than the Tin Man or Scarecrow.
I've got more than The Wizard Of Oz.
Than The Wizard Of Oz..
Than The Wizard Of Oz..
