The clock of dustless shoestring hands ran infinity marathons with ease. The expanse before and the expanse behind, it covered in metronomic stride. “Twas not simply a simple time piece, humble though it was, yet a heartbeat for our home. Reliable. Steady. It was as earth meeting soles regardless of incline or weather, in the good times and the bad, in songs of heartfelt joy or tears, a companion it was through those prevailing years.

The antique clock expected to live in generations of its previous family, yet there it was in the shop of treasures, waiting for someone to love it enough to keep it and pass it on.

The clock was an antique, that old deep wood and classic curvy shape. It more hugged the old mantle than simply sat there. It was a thing of beauty that would last. It had soul.

I can hear the antique clock when all else is still. It's the only kind of tock and tick that relaxes this heart.
