the clock ticks by anelephantcant
Click here to hear the poet read his words:
the clock ticks
every time
the clock ticks
we grow
a little
older
the lines
are deeper
and
the hair
thinner
and
greyer
we are long past
the mid-point
of our life
and
watch
more and more
carefully
the signs
that indicate
the approaching
inevitable
finale
we consider
frequently
what
we achieved
and
what pain
we inflicted
and
in the night
we feel
less pride
than
guilt
anelephantcant 
so true. As we get older, we realize our past follies and regret them… but it becomes too late
