Grandfather Clock

Tick…tock, time breathes with the swing
Of the pendulum, hypnotic and slow
Weaving a tapestry of futures awaiting
The path to the future to grow
Tick…tock, picture my father, winding the motion
As before him, his father did too
The link to the bygones, eyes clouded with emotion
A strand of the past pulling through
Tick…tock, highlights the silence, marking its presence
Polished mahogany in the age of pine
A time machine, showing signs of its senescence
Reminding me of mine…
Tallisman (pseudonym) has been writing poetry for countless years but only this year has he started publishing it. The world has obviously done something to upset him to earn such punishment! With his wife, 2 dogs and 3 cats, he lives in the UK County of Staffordshire. Spending his days working and his evenings writing, walking and avoiding DIY tasks…
