Tick, Tock

quiet moment to contemplate

sat back and close one`s eyes

be still, breath in this silence

for timeout is always wise

a clock ticks away the hours

 relaxing rhythmic beat

calmness of a sleeping cat 

purring loudly upon a seat

distant melodies heard softly

as if from another world

strange and yet so soothing

 chords and tunes all swirled

time marches ever forward

as the clock continues to tick

a quiet moment is heavenly

best medicine and not a trick!
