When Little Clockworks Spin

Yes.

They spin. They creak. They groan, but yes, they do spin, with reluctance and before you can blink, they just go on and you just can't keep up.

No, I did not get a new clock.

It is just my mind. It has been spinning alot of the late.

I always thought that a sufficient dose of stress is healthy. And perhaps, I have been justifying the long hours I picked for work, the amount of work I force myself to do, household chores I find myself to do, as necessary, vital, essential to get past the day.

Albeit so, I find myself slowing down even when I am walking down the street, running to catch my bus to work or to classes or to get home. I am not making sense, am I? Slowing down not in my stride, but in my mind.. I find myself on the bus thinking endless questions. Endless possibilities. In short, thinking about endless "what ifs". I yearn to zero into the blur vision in my mind's eye of the ever-changing future. To find the answers, to give myself a stable platform I can stand as I pluck up the courage to take a plunge down head long into unknown territories.


Sometimes, I wish I just did not know the mechanisms of things. How it works. How it will react if it were to be tested. How it will end.. Perhaps, sometimes, I just need the clockworks to just.. stop. To freeze. To let time still.

And, perhaps, just perhaps, I would emerge at peace to say "Come what may.. "

    Sand trickles,
    time ticks,
    the stream flows,
    waterfalls gush,
    teddy bears arranged across the table top.
    hearts tattered,
    patched up and stitched.
    Tarzan dreams,
    Ape's roar,
    two worlds split?
    where is faith?
    Momo wonders,
    birds soar,
    phoenix burst into flames
    ashes fade,
    fireflies flicker,
    where'd u go?
    to the east?
    to the west?
    in my head?
    -vanished.
