Between the Tick and the Tock

Suspended between the seconds
Hesitation between the tick and the tock
of Father Time’s clock
A hiccup between ‘tha’ and ‘thump’
of a heartbeat
Life’s celluloid reeling in slow motion
Moments…memories of the year now passed
splice into hazy images of wishes
for the year yet to come
Stock-piling results of choices made
Making room for new resolutions
Fresh opportunities to be a better person
Kinder, more understanding and generous
Expectations high for something wonderful to happen
in the new year waiting on the other side of the next second
The far side of the tock and the ‘thump’
And the glitter ball finally drops
The clock’s pendulum swings down and through
into a new heartbeat, the first second of a new year
waiting to be lived
