This is in response to the #dailywritingprompt, which had the phrase "out of time" from the poem "Tattered Hope" by #carlsandburg.

Lyrics

Out of Time
Jemma Kline

The shuffle of the sand beneath the needles
Provides a rhythm for the cries among the pines.
They will measure up the moments of my passing,
For I know that I am running out of time.

I’m out of time,
As I’m passing through my life,
I’m out of time,
As I’m watching years go by,
I’m out of time.

The tension of the brass within the clockwork
Maintains the motion of the gears that slowly wind,
But the strain within the springs begins to lessen,
And they whisper I am running out of time.

I’m out of time,
As I’m passing through my life,
I’m out of time,
As I’m watching years go by,
I’m out of time.

I’m frozen here,
Transfixed by fear,
Just one last slip
Into abyss.
I’ll not give up all that is mine just to see beyond the line.

I’m out of time,
As I’m passing through my life,
I’m out of time,
As I’m watching years go by,
I’m out of time.
