Pendulum

the

pendulum

  swings     dependably

left                     right

       right                                  left

   again again

  Tick Tock

Holding  hopes

mirroring     heartbeats

defying                     time

Tick Tock

  eyes       follow

mesmerized          hypnotized

     this will last forever

until

    it

                            misses

                                                                        a

                                                                                                        beat

no

                                                longer

                             is is is is is is is is is is is is

                                                               anything

certain

                                          we                 

        are

                                                    lost

                      dizzy

                                                                                    ears

long

                                   for

               steady

                                                                                     rhythm

                                          hearts

                                                                                long

                       for

     certainty
