Grandfather's Clock
GrandFather's clock
strikes in simple
complexity
Two pieces
not one
chime the rhythm of time
tick
tock
tick
tock
seconds go by
seemingly rising
and setting with the sun
and the ease of a passing day
does time end as the sun fades
tick
tock
tick
tock
the clock chimes
the hour past dusk
when time is
reality-infinite
a crystalline galaxy
seen
and unseen
beyond the eye's "scope"
tick
tock
tick
tock
seconds go by
spent intently
planting seeds
in the soil of time
add sunshine and rain
and the seeds grow
tick
tock
tick
tock
the clock chimes
the hour of wisdom
petal by petal
time's beauty unfolds...
a sublty sweet fragrance
awakening the senses
and ravishing beauties
blooming rainbows of color
tick
tock
tick
tock
seconds go by
shaping our being
like water
meandering down
tick
tock
tick
tock
the clock chimes
the hour of transformation
a new river
just started to flow
carving life's bank in side-sweeping "S's"
and lakes that oxbow
tributaries flow
and the river grows
swiftly sweeping away sediment
through sunlit waters
we see life within
color
clarity revealed
depths below
continuity
change
all become One--
there's a rhythm to it all...
tick
tock
tick
tock
seconds go by
the clock chimes
the hour of cherished time
like snowflakes from heaven
sparkling in sunlight
shapes and sizes reveal
crystal-like complexity
of lace and needle-points
"how beautiful--
how fleeting you are
little crystal"
lets make angels
before the spring thaw...
tick
tock
tick
tock
GrandFather's clock
strikes in simple complexity
two pieces
not one
chime
the rhythm of time....
