A Moment in Time

By Aussie

The clock was ticking
It never seemed to stop
My life was racing
And then I heard the knock

It wasn’t loud or fright’ning
It wasn’t soft or whisp’ring
The knock was plain and simple
A normal, regular knock

The clock still kept on ticking
I knew it would never stop
My life still kept on racing
That day I heard the knock

I turned my music louder
I stretched my smile wider
I turned my eyes to many things
But not to that plain knock

And then just as the knock began
I never heard it leave
But now I know it must be gone
For I can’t hear a thing.
