Grandfather Clock
November 22, 2013
Tick –tock.
Church bell rings three,
Silent crush of feet on a pebble stone ,
Tick- tock.
The church is hushed,
Three hearses drive slowly through a pebble maze.
Tick-tock.
A shovel hits stone,
Like loss finally accepting defeat,
Weeds still,
As those who died,
Their secrets will remain,
Those left,
A constant reminder of those lost.
Tick-Tock.
Church bell rings four,
Policemen stand steady,
As priests present the last eulogies,
Three coffins lowered,
Their last words written on marble stone…
…TICK… TOCK!
