Clocks halt - motionless.

Until the pendulum swings.

And then - flies away.

    I felt the stillness of a moment in your opening line. Then the pendulum swings, and oh my goodness, the moment is gone. Really well done.

    This was really cool!! I felt myself stop and still, and then resume moving between the each line. Loved it!!!

    This is invoking Emily Dickinson for me. This so well captures the experience of parenting -- it lasts forever, until you blink and they are grown and "fly away."
