[bodytext] => a grandfather clock is clunking, somewhere down the darkened hall you have seated yourself by a window, to watch the snow fall wrapped up in a blanket, rocking in the old wooden chair you're looking out that portal, but it's really just a stare a fire in the fireplace, it feels good upon your face you're listening to that pendulum swing, you count its even pace it's playing out a melody, the one about your life it's telling a tale of days gone by, with the sharpness of a knife the light coming from the house's hearth, casts shadows on the wall you sit and watch them flicker about, as if dancing at a ball it seems the clock becomes much louder, after it sings of yesterday it sounds just like an old phonograph, now it's your future it will play snowflakes still fall to ground nearby, and further in the distance the pendulum seems to quicken its pace, tolling even more persistent the days to be told of hereafter, are lonely ones at best for you lost your wife to illness, and you shunned off all the rest you thought you needed no one, and that no one needed you but you were wrong about a lot of things, wrong about that too you've been left alone broken hearted, life has taken your youth and your will surprised your old heart has lasted this long, amazed that it's beating still now you sit here by the window, not the man you used to be the pendulum's sounding more like death, and it's you it's here to see...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
