Tick Tock

Time
Always ticking
Never enough it seems
It's funny how when you want it to speed up
It stops

But when you want more

It's gone

Time doesn't give second chances

It only happens once

And you can never change it

Or get it back

Tick tock, tick tock
Isn't that how most think of time?

The noises of a clock

They're the first things to come to mind
But what about the people
In the days where clocks didn't exist

What did they think?

Was the thought simply dismissed?
Did they think of the sun?
Rising and falling
Warning them of the light and dark
Always approaching
Never failing to show up
In the early morning
Everyone would wake up
Birds would sing

Or in the evening

As dusk sends the world into darkness
Coming out are the creatures of the night
While all the rest sleep their weary heads
Tick tock, tick tock
Again with the clock
Time's slipping away
Mine's almost up
