Pendulum

the

pendulum

swings dependably

left right

right left

again again

Tick Tock

holding hopes

mirroring heartbeats

defying time

Tick Tock

eyes follow

mesmerized hypnotized

this will last forever

until

it

misses

a

beat

no longer

is is is is is is is is is is is is

anything

certain

we are

lost

dizzy

ears

long

for

steady

rhythm

hearts

long

for

certainty

Tick Tock

tick

tock

Praying for our precious pendulum to find its rhythm once again.
