The Pendulum



The pendulum is swinging
The chimes are softly marking time

It is time being greeted
At the same time it is bid adieu

It keeps on moving forward
Small deadly measures of silence

Miniscule cuts upon our skin
The pain is silent until too late

We now bleed as our life drains
Time is taking its coveted prize

Our minds know the incredible value
Yet our hearts sometimes are not as aware

Time robs us quickly and efficiently
Tic toc tic toc-There it goes silently

As we weep at the lost sands
Slipping from in between our fingers

Time passes us by-Tic toc tic toc
There is no end of day-just the death of us

The pendulum keeps swinging
As the chimes softly keep marking time
