Grandfather Clock

[Rackinac]

Love
Heart
Forever beating
Steady and fast
Like clockwork

Breathing
Beating
Until time tears
Time wears
Never stops

Tick
Tock
Back and forth
Rhythmic motion
Over and over

Left
Right
Goes the pendulum
Always moving
Always working

Thump
Thump
Goes the heart
Always beating
Always breathing

Scritch
Scratch
Time has past
Worn away old
Holding on tight

Pitter
Pat
Goes the gears
Spinning, spinning
Wearing, wearing

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Goes the clock

Tick...
Tock...
Tick...

Broken
Cold
Gone forever
Old and forgotton
Like the gradfatherclock

[End]

I want a grandfatherclock.

I have one, and it used to belong to my Grandfather =D.

This is an excellent poem! It has a beautiful meaning to it. No matter what happens, life will go on. The clock will always tick. Time waits for no one. I suppose it could also mean time is forgotten too. Time flies by us, and we seem to grow old fast.

Great work Gem!
