Cry My Eyes

"Cry my eyes!"
said the tick tock man.
I have no more time for sadness or sorrow.

"Weep my ears!"
said the tick tock man.
I'll hear no songs until the morrow.

"Dry your heart!"
Said the tick tock man.
Don't let her bleed you no more.

Our ages fleet through the day.
Our lives seep through the cracks.

"We shall rejoice!"
said the tick tock man.
Happiness is yet at hand.

"Cry my eyes!"
said the tick tock man.
As he led us to the promised land.

I am not quite certain when I wrote this... sometime in 1998...

I suppose that it is the utmost of vanities that I am posting my poetry on line... Still, this may be the only venue that I am ever able to share my voice with others...
