Simple beauty

In a wood
By the path
In among the brambles
There it stood
Trees all around
Grass and branches
Birds and bees
There it stood

Nothing else to equal it
Only noticed by those aware
There it stood
There was no scent
There were no signs
There it stood

We search all over
We desire it all the time
Yet there it stood
There it stood for all to see
Yet no one noticed
It was not in lights

There it stood
There in the woods
Simple beauty

Tick-tock

Our life with a clock
Tick-tock
Every minute
Tick-tock
Every hour
Tick-tock
Every day
Tick-tock
Always with our clock

Time for this
Tick-tock
Time for that
Tick-tock
Time for work
Tick-tock
Time for bed
Tick-tock
We can never seem to escape the clock

Time everywhere
Tick-tock
Yet we never have enough
Tick-tock
Time the myth
Tick-tock
Perhaps it’s time to stop the clock
