An Ode to Solace

by Joe Cramer

Such a solace

from all of the clocks

in the room....

tick, tick, tocking

the clocking

seconds,

the minutes

the hours,

days of our lives

hastening away.

Some tick,

some tock,

some are quite quiet

most are not.

I watch them all,

pebbles moving toward

my distant shore.

Author's Note: ... to living alone... to my clocks, with a nod to Shake.

This does come across quite peacefully - a rhythm in your life. The clocks also make me think of the metronome and I can see you making music out of all of this.
