Tic tock
The clock went
Seconds turning to minutes
Minutes coalescing into hours
Dawns and dusks slipping by
Days and years will pass soon

In these ticking seconds I am losing my life
In these successive seconds I can create my heaven

Every moment an opportunity is born
Every instant another one dies

Each day a promise emerges
Each day a hope is shattered

Time will not stop for me
Though I have pieces to pick
Thoughts to arrange
Memories to savor
But move I must
Before it is too late
