Transition

Tic . . Tic . . Tic
Youthful eyes watching the clock
wishing the hands were moving faster.
Anxiously dreaming of life’s opportunities.

Tic . . . Tic . . . Tic
A mature gaze briefly glances
hoping to avoid the enemy.
Living each moment with intensity.

Tic . . . . Tic . . . . Tic
Listlessly watching the hourglass empty
facing and accepting completion.
Wistful thoughts of where it all went.

Tic . . . . .
