The clock!

Clock clock
With your beautiful
Tick-tock
Waiting
Or in a hurry
You take me delighted!

Clock clock
With your magic
Tick-tock
It surprises me how fast
That left behind
An instant that will not return!

Clock clock
I’m in a hurry!
To be in a place
With no setbacks

Clock clock
To which I look!
In the long winter nights!

Clock clock
With your weird tick-tock
That marks time!
That advances
And like an avalanche
Takes seconds
Minutes hours
Life!

Because we all depend
On the light of day
Or some work
In melancholy
In the long cold nights
Looking at the hands of the clock
Indicating the time starts
That time ends!
Tick-tock says the clock!
So I advance!

Clock clock
No one can cheat or tell lies
When we look at
Your pretty hands!

Clock clock
You can be on the wall
Or in bracelets
With nice straps
Or little chains!

Clock clock
Time advances
Between your hands
Indicating that nothing stops
In this life!
And if you’re late it’s a lost cause
Or if you arrive early it is wonderful!
