Clicks of Clocks

[LCK]

Clicks of Clocks

Late at night
Wide awake
Insomnia has
Claimed its stake
You listen to the
Clicks of clocks
You listen to their
Ticks and tocks
Magnified
To incessant drumming
Whirling mechanisms
Mindlessly humming
As you listen
Your mind is numbing
To sleep at last
You are succumbing
Dulled by the
Clicks of clocks
Drowsy from the
Ticks and tocks
Heavy lidded eyes
Safe from fear
The old familiar
Is forever near
In the background
You softly hear
The hypnotic sound
Of clicks of clocks
The endless lullaby
Of ticks and tocks.
