Tic Toc

Tic Toc

As we work on the final details of the second Hawk and Hummingbird book: The Hawk and the Hummingbird and the Clock, I was reminded of this poem I wrote back in 2008. Let me know in the comments what you think.

tic toc, tic toc, tic toc


restless sand slipping through idle fingers


tic toc, tic toc, tic toc


rivers of time meandering past endless shores


tic toc, tic toc, tic toc


continuous cycles of setting suns and moons


tic toc, tic toc, tic toc


torrential tides constant in ebb and flow


tic toc, tic toc, tic toc


fleeting moments fading from memory, tic


names and faces disappearing from view, toc


tic
