Tick Tock by Pearl Shieldmaiden

Pearl is yet another gifted writer from the Roissy/Blackthorne Creative Writing group. Pearl uses the sound of a ticking clock to instill in her reader the sense of time moving forward, moving in a lumbering manner to suggest the significance of our own mortality. Pearl says much in such a few words. Pearl's work is exceptional.




Tick Tock by Pearl Shieldmaiden


Time weighs heavy on the soul
Eternal ticking of the clock
Stretching forever onwards
The hour hand does mock

Time weighs heavy on the soul
Waiting for each new day
A fresh hope dawning
Only to fade away

Time weighs heavy on the soul
As the moments crawl by
Trying to find a purpose
Needing a reason why

Time weighs heavy on the soul
With each passing year
Eventually ceasing to exist
Just an endless blur
