Drip drip drop
The world grows dark in the shadow of a mountain
Drip drip drop
A black lake grows deeper and deeper
Drip drip drop
Our dirt grave closes in around us
Dripping dripping dropping
far beneath the surface
Drip drip drop
Trying trying to stop the clock
Drip drip drop
The seconnd hand spins faster
Tick tick tock.

This poem( for me) brings up the question- where does time go, and how do we make it last longer??
