Wheel of Life (tik tik tok)

inspiration,
breathing in
then breathing out
a rhythmic din

whooshing, waiting
letting go
then breathing out
it's as though

somewhere inside
tik tik tok
hearts beat pounding
like a clock

minutes, hours
day by day
year by year
we slip away

numbers tumbling
rushing by
winter, summer
seem to fly

in the morning
late at night
disappearing
out of sight

breathing in
and breathing out
seems to be
what it's about

rhythmic motion
tik tik tok
round and round
until we stop
