Ten Ton Chicken - The Threat of Time

The Threat of Time

Words and Music - Gary Morrell

b. 10/14/22

Heading in the wrong direction is worse than doing nothing at all

The forest never chooses and somehow always gets it right

Winter springs to summer inexorable march to fall

Daylight looking back ever forward calmly into night

I will stare at the wall

Until my shadow is carved into stone

She took the lower path opting to wade through the pool

She felt more at home among the fishes seaweed and the slime

She saw a gleaming white seahorse straddled him, and joined the school

Kingfisher scanning down took a dive the seahorse out of time

I will stare at the wall

Until my shadow is carved into stone

The threat of time clip gain line few and far between blue earth moon

Imprinted, The Imprinted you will not forget where you were

The threat of time let’s drink wine, though everybody gets a different tune

Later when the dust settles we ask, what became of her

I will stare at the wall

Until my shadow is carved into stone
