29
The ticking clock,
The hours falling in time
Moving in currents feeling so sublime
As the World seemed to whisper
A silent rhyme.
The song plays again,
A sad old tune,
Of love long lost
As I sit near the moon
She holds me tight
I close my eyes
And feel the drumming beat
As the stars align like an army fleet.
I hear it again,
The melody chiming in my ear
The rhyming now coming so clear
Humming so sweet
Her voice comes together
And makes my soul complete
She takes me to distant lands
Somewhere far away
Where the sun don't shine
And the kids don't come to play
She begs me not to leave
I will always stay
Holding me prisoner
In this pendulum of emotion
She and I,
Are what set the world in motion
