In the dark of night,

There is a sound.

A soft tick ticking of a pocket watch,

Telling our stories silently.

 

Tick tick tick,

The clock goes on,

Counting down our lives,

Moment by moment.

 

Never slowing,

Never hurrying along,

This pocket heartbeat continues on

Never missing a beat.

 

It is your heartbeat,

My slow breaths,

The angels wingbeats,

God's will.

 

Inhale, exhale,

Realize how much time you have,

Make something of your life.

Live for today.

 

Never, 

Never forget, 

The tick tick ticking

Of the pocket watch.
