Pendulum

Foreboded clock tower toll
Chimes claim an expiry soul
Hypnotical steely pendulum
Chords of anarchy strum

Gilded grains slowly slip
Twilight fragments dip
Sands through hourglass
Vestiges of moments pass

Threads phase, hails to arm
Wisps peal quantum alarm
Hoard seconds afore last stand
Grim entitled to deficient sand

Hours waning fainthearted
Spiral remnants departed
Heart o’ glass time will shatter
Bygone qualms no long matter
