I like this. it kind of reminds me of that lull right before your finally manage to get to sleep if your having a hard time of it. your senses get way focused and you can hear every little thing... keep it up. thanks for reviewing my poems as well.!

Without the tick-tocks, we are nothing. Time moves on. I agree wholeheartedly! Plus, without the ticks and tocks in your poem, you wouldn't have made such a clear impact on me. No ambiguity. I like poems lacking in ambiguity. I especially like "a baby is born, an old man dies". So stark for so deep a subject.
