The Silent Sentinel of the Ticking Clock

The Silent Sentinel of the Ticking Clock

Listen to this song here

Verse 1

High on the spine of the ancient wood,

Where the moss has seized what the clock understood.

A sapphire shadow, a shifting gray,

Watches the hours that refuse to sway.

 

Moonlight bleeds silver on gears of brass,

Reflected deep in the fractured glass.

He is the silence that follows the strike,

A perfect machine in the endless night.

Pre-Chorus

 The fog is his breath, the rust is his sign,

A whisper of maroon on the blue-gray line.

He measures the moment, the tension he keeps,

While the forest below is tangled in sleeps.

Chorus

Oh, the Clockwork Glare!

Two eyes of burning, molten gold.

He doesn’t count the seconds, he counts the souls.

A Steampunk Spectre on a sky of blue,

With metal wings where the dream slips through.

He holds the key, he turns the lock,

The silent sentinel of the ticking clock!

Verse 2

 

 The tiny butterflies, silver and frail,

Dance in the vapor beneath his veil.

A compass eye on his forehead set,

He knows the coordinates of what you regret.

The deep blue velvet of the cosmic swirl,

Just a backdrop for the cat of the world.

He’s not a protector, nor purely a threat,

He’s the moment you haven’t lived yet.

Pre-Chorus

(

The copper pipes wrap around his crown,

Pulling the moonlight to stream right down.

He gathers the whispers and files the screams,

The menacing architect of your darkest dreams.

Chorus

Oh, the Clockwork Glare!

Two eyes of burning, molten gold.

He doesn’t count the seconds, he counts the souls.

A Steampunk Spectre on a sky of blue,

With metal wings where the dream slips through.

He holds the key, he turns the lock,

The silent sentinel of the ticking clock!

Bridge

 

He sees the color you cannot name,

The blue that’s fueled by the fire of shame.

The gold in his vision, fragmented and deep,

A mirror to secrets the forest must keep.

Outro

 The clockwork glare…

The ticking, ticking…

I am a Cat, it said smiling at her

I am a Cat, it said smiling at her,

A Cheshire Cat, you can tell by my fur,

My paws and whiskers are also a hint,

But the smile on my face is most significant.

*

I can see by your fur, said Alice – I do,

And also your paws and whiskers – it’s true,

But that smile on your face has me all in a tizz,

Coming and going in such a whiz.

*

Still smiling at Alice, the Cat dryly replied,

You’d never believe me; you’d think I had lied,

If the smile on my face was gone – it’s a fact,

No one would listen or look at this Cat.

*

Without offering Alice the chance to reply,

The Cat went on with his horrible lie,

Creeping closer and closer, until ever so near,

When he pounced, lashed out, cutting her ear.

*

Feeling the hurt and the blood running down,

Alice said, Oh, I was such a clown,

To have ever believed a Cat with a grin,

Take that, and that, you horrible thing!

Alice in Wonderland Christmas story and Cat Stevens Father and Son

Cat Stevens Father and Son (original)

https://youtu.be/b-7c4VNGOgU

**********************

I penned the following variation of the song Father and Son, to mark the return of Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam to the world of music and entertainment.

God bless him.

Father and Son, Part Two – Thirty Years On.

Father:
It’s now time to make a change,
Not relax or take it easy.
You’re grown up, that’s so good,
But there’s still so much to do.
You’ve a wife, and a child,
You settled down, and you married.
I am gone, though I’m gone, I am happy.

I can now recall a time, and admit it wasn’t easy,
To be calm in the turmoil we call youth.
But I have travelled, journeyed on,
To a time, a place we all can reach.
Where our yesterdays and morrows are at peace with today.

Son:
You don’t need to explain; though you’ve gone we are now closer.
Though the story’s the same, we have changed.
We were so caught up in talk it was impossible to listen.
It took me time, now I know I don’t have to go away.
I don’t have to go.

Father:
It’s now time to make change,
Get right on, embrace it.
You’re grown up, that’s so good,
But there’s still so much you can do.
You’ve a wife, and a child,
You settled down, you married.
I am gone, I am gone, but I’m happy.

Son:
No more times, wasted times, hiding truth I knew was deep inside,
It’s good, but even better in sharing.
Yes, they were right, I agree, I’m free to know you and me.
Now I can see and I know I don’t have to go away.
I don’t have to go.

(Optional Extra Verse)
Son:
My Father, you and I, we cannot, must not be kept apart in time,
We’ll soon be rejoined in the heavens.
Where time will be all gone; and thus unshackled from our minds
We’ll all be free, and we’ll know we don’t have to go away.
We won’t have to go.

If Trump was a cat

If Trump was a cat, he would be ever so fat,

Fatter than fat, it’s true

A strut around prat, annoying old gnat,

A doddering, silly old moo.

Cat was here sat,

Cat is now gone,

Long live the cat,

Rhyme is all done.

The Silly Fat Cat

There once was a cat so fat,

It quickly grew out of its mat,

It grew fatter and fatter,

Just like a Mad Hatter,

Then exploded, the silly fat cat.

meow with cat, cat, cat

A cat is a cat, a fact, a fact,

No one can know what a cat is at,

Unless you with a feline sat,

And meow with cat, cat, cat.
