Tick-tock.

Tick-tock.

Tick-tock.


Somewhere a clock is ticking.

Ticking the seconds away,
and the minutes and the days.

Who knows?
maybe even the years.


Tick-tock, it goes.

Tick-tock.
Tick-tock.

Time runs like water, slipping through your fingers even if you try your best to hold it in your hands.
It runs like perfect machinery – never pausing.
Never stopping.

Time runs like the sand in an hourglass, and
time runs like my thoughts.
It races.

Tick-tock.

Time is repetitive to some, but the truth is time is ever-changing.

Tick-tock.



Tick-tock.

Time will pass you by like a skipped beat in a song.
It will go by unnoticed until the very end.
Then end - when you realize something was missing from the start.


Tick-tock.

You only have so much, so spend it wisely said a father to a child
Going to the market with a bronze coin, nothing more.

You only have so much, so spend it wisely, I say
Time is worth the most of all


Tick-tock.

I was bored. Got to thinking of time.
And then an imaginary clock started ticking in my mind.

I'll probably scrap this later, but tell me what you think for now, won't you?

I've found that some interesting things can arise from boredom. My favorite line from this: "Time will pass you by like a skipped beat in a song." made me think of an entire life passing in one syncopated beat, that doesn't even register a blip to eternity.

The spacing of the tick-tocks seemed at first random, or maybe just inconspicuous, on the first read through. But now it seems deliberate. Time is unchanging, only our perception of it changes. Half full or half empty, or somesuch. It's early, and that is as coherent I can manage at the moment :)

I love this comment! Thank you :hug:

I like that line too. I was unsure what to write there first, but then that just happened, and it seemed right.
Yeah. Kinda sad, but at the same time calming to think of, I think.

I know. I reread it and noticed how it seems random until you've actually read the full thing, but I think they work when you put it all together.

Yeah.
Time is a fleeting concept, I'd say. We invented it cause we needed something to rely on.

Haha - well, it was perfectly coherent =)
Thanks again for the awesome comment!
