Tic Toc Tic

Ever forward, stepping out.

Are you enemy or friend?

Able to repair great sorrow,

Only to delay the bitter ending

That is sure to come.

Measuring in constant cadence

Ticking, tocking, ever so.

Far too busy to look back,

Never stop to find a home.

Bold and brave you sally forth,

Never known to shed a tear,

Wear a frown, laugh out loud,

Stone-faced bastard that you are.

Can’t you stop? Slow your pace?

Catch the fragrance while it lingers,

Or are you too busy trying desperately to

Reach your star?

Tic… No pressure. No emotion.

Toc… On board. No turning back.

Tic… No warning. No deception.

Challenging to raise the bar.
