Sounds from a Clock

Found in the book 'The Temple of Silence'
Sounds from a Clock

In the gentle rhythm of a ticking clock, this poem contemplates life’s oscillating moments—between remembering and forgetting, presence and absence, reminding us of the timeless freedom that lies beyond.

On the wall hangs a clock,
alternating tick and tock.

a remembering, a forgetting,
a resisting, a letting.

a waking up, a drifting away,
a life to manage, an actor at play.

arriving home, venturing out,
complete and whole, gnawing doubt.

tick blind, tock see,
what you are is ever-free!
