• parts, cogs, wheels, gears
    turning, churning,
    the passing of years,
    tick tock, tick tock
    the pendulum swings in this eternal clock
    rise and fall
    day by day
    back and forth
    the pendulum sways
    how long can it last?
    how long can it swing?
    how long till the birdy comes out to sing?
    swing swing
    watch it go,
    with nothing to judge how fast or slow,
    tick tick
    the passage of time
    forever and ever
    through my mind
