Chop the lumber splintered wood
Stack the logs inside the shed
Close the hatches secure the locks
Closely watch the clock Tick Tock
Have some bread enjoy some milk
Threatening winds upon the door
Threaded sweaters layered thick
Listen closely as the old clock Ticks
Grab the quill dip it in ink
Point to parchment begin an entry
Thunder growls after flashes bright
The clock ticks on into the night
Tempatures drop old faithful clock stops
Logs and flint bring a fire to life
A flurry erupts and envelopes the night
A blizzard stops time locked and resigned
Company vacant in these times of sleet
As mother nature screams so violently
Burying shelters and cabins in snow
The clock is stopped though time does go
Days weeks for it could be months
A reprieve from the tumultuous bizzard void
Ticking of a clock can drive all insane
When locked indoors for weeks in a cage
Resigned to allow minds to transcend
The watching of time drain til blizzards end

Thank you...I'm glad that you enjoyed this. Relativity is very interesting to me and is very power depending on the scenario...I have written two more poems on time that can be found under the "Randy Sturridge" Tag or "Time" tag on the right.
Entitled, "Time's Deisgn"
Entitled, "Invariable Memories"

Thank you.
Randy, excellent piece of writing. Been looking for updates, as you were appearing again on my blog roll, but then it stopped again, last one showing know is Drawing:inner being.
