The Clock. An infernal object that heralds stress, deadlines, commitment, the finite, and a deadline.
How do we set the clock so that we can manage all that we associate with it?
A Clock
Object of Angst
Its hands move restlessly
Always circling in a hurry
Endless
A Clock
Hands push
Strong and send blood pumping
My veins fill up, turn green, popping
Head aches
Arms should lay by the side
when everything is needless or
trivial.
Tough task
A Clock
Must set
Hands to push at the times
When a boost is needed and apt
Needed
A Clock
Must rest
Its hands lay by the side
When everything is needless or
Trival.

Walking Barefooted
We acknowiedge with gratitude that most of us grow up in stable, happy homes, with our parents extolling the virtue of humility reminding us too often to be grateful for what we have. Hence, most of us would respond with polite salutations to relatives, especially those older than ourselves.

You have a way with words. I must say that this was an exceptionally well written piece that I thoroughly enjoyed.
