My father had a similar timepiece but it began to play up. It would run at half time ond would only ever go \'tick\' never \'tock\'.
Eventually we took it to the repairman a German gentle man who we suspected was ex SS... straight away he put the clock beneath a lamp and said \"Vee haff vays of making you tock!\"

Hello Goldfinch 60.
A wonderful poem. Sometimes when a house is quiet and the hands on a clock tick during those silent moments - a clock has a life and an existence all of its own.

THANKS UNCLE ANDY ! Great Song ! I (BRIAN) am doing *Talks on Sinatra for Seniors* they still love HIM especially 70+ Ladies who still see him as a *Bit of a Naughty Boy !* He is imortalised on MILLIONS of CDS & DVDS. Love the POEM and references to CLOCKS ~ we have to be careful not to be slaves of TIME ! My COMPUTER tells me it is O8:25am Friday 17/05/2019 ! But I have to remember for ANGELA its 08:25pm in Auckland ! WE love to visit our Friends in KENTUCKY (USA) for the Horses. In the House on the other side of the Road its one hour ahead and to them we are an hour behind. So even TIME is dependent depending where on EARTH you are. In KENTUCKY everyoneis an HOUR LATE or EARLY so invitations say *Come when you can ~ Leave when you must* ~ ONLY IN KENTUCKY ! Thanks for another epic Presentation !
Blessings & Love in the Spirit to YOU BOTH
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Good write Gold. Some chuck out ticking clocks from their bedrooms, saying it annoys them. But it can be soothing.

Yes me too with the golden virginia rollies and a wee filter tip. Its longer than ten years i quit. I still have some king edward panatellas knocking around but i dare not think about smoking them.
Have you seen the price of being a smoker now? How can those on benefits afford to smoke...as they do?
I can recall at age ten, smoking ten gold leaf with my pal. We were so grown up we thought LOL.

Good write Gold. We might forget about smoking, or forget it somewhat, since it was banned from certain places. But it still happens - people outside buildings, smoking/tea breaks, etc.

I am lost to the World
With which I used to spend much time
It has for so long known nothing of me
It may well believe that I am dead !
Nor am I at all concerned
If it should think that I am dead
Nor can I deny it !
For truly I am dead to the World
I am dead to the Worlds tumult
And rest in a quiet realm !
I live alone in my Heaven
In my LOVE ~ in my SONG !
Thanks for sharing Uncle Andy ~ Lovely melancholy voice for a melancholy song. I posted a translation because that is in effect the POEM also . It made me so so sad because it is the destiny of many Seniors I know whose roots have perished with the 20th Century ! They have found a quiet realm in a Retirement Home ! Her own departure ~ as outlined in your elegant Poem ~ is reflected in the SONG ~ OK
Blessing & Peace & Love to YOU and JOYCE
Yours as always ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

I will admit I had to turn my headphones down a bit but once comfortable, what a soothing experience thank you!
I also had a thought of what amazing inner strength it must take to hold a note so crisp and clean or was that just the voice of her soul...

Hello Andy - I\'m a non believer myself and live in horror over what religion has done to the world but have my other fantasies - actually on the day, Jay will be coming back for me in his truck and off we will go to the horses and the beautiful wide sky ........... whatever floats their boats as long as they don\'t knock on my door - then I\'m afraid they have to deal with the consequences of their actions....... be afraid, be very afraid. Oh and God is Nature isn\'t she?

I feel - or more strongly - I believe, you\'re on the right path still. I suppose my reply to the second stanza is \'Ohh, I dunno about that\'.
Not to be judgemental, otherwise we could blame the churches, as in: \'You church lot should have got out more and evangelised the unbelievers!\'
I\'m upset at times with a church that \'preaches to the converted\'. The converted need preaching too, but they often get a hefty warning message in Newsletter Editorial page from the minister!

Never mind bullshit phrases from the man made bible some people are limited by..... If theres that christian god then his teaching (omg man made again) is of forgiveness so why bother with worship or even acknowledging.
So many whacking great loopholes in christian teachings. No wonder they rely on blind faith cos it sure doesn\'t stand up to intelligent questioning or questioning.

I love your rain reflection and thank you so much for the best scene from Butch Cassidy....... I just love that movie and that scene in particular...... somewhere he says (jokingly) \"Your cold white flesh is mine all mine\" and it cracked me up. Stupid remark of the day: \"Why can\'t they make movies like that any more?\"
