The Clock and the Hourglass

The clock is ticking
The second hand moves gracefully around
I can hear it,
I can feel it,
The wanting,
The dreaming,
The completeness it would bring.
Tick tock,
Tick tock,
Minutes pass,
Then hours, then days,
It's happening,
Somewhere in those tick andtocks,
It happened,
I evolved,
Changed my tune,
Began to hear it, to feel it,
To want it and to dream it,
I sang a new song,
Tick tock,
I can never go back,
Can never ignore it,
Tick tock,
It's there,
Inside me,
The wanting,
The dreaming,
The completeness it would bring,
Tick tock,
Tick tock,
Tick tock,
The hourglass is counting down.
