Wisdom Of The Grandfather Clock

Standing in the corner so tall,

Dust sleeping on my lined face,

A witness to time, I see many things change.

As you gaze upon my face,

I wish i could speak and tell you what i know.

If i could,I would set you free.

I wish i could stop...then you might see I'm a limitation to thee.

Tick Toc Tick Toc.

I would tell you as a witness the truth, that

today will soon be tomorrow and tomorrow today,

before you can be in the now.

Today will be yesterday. 

I would ask you as a wise old grandfather clock to

stop.

stop reminiscing and holding on to your past,

And wondering and wishing for the future

Tick Toc Tick Toc Tick Toc.

This obsesion with time

The distraction from now.

to keep you wishing working and worrying.

Look into you, Instead of my old face.

If only i could stop . tick toc tick toc tick toc

the face of the man made controller, The Clock.
