THE CLOCK TICKED.
THE SECONDS CLICKED.
THE MINUTES SHUFFLED.
THE HOURS PASSED.
MY LIFE REMAINED UNCHANGED.

THE DAYS DRAGGED.
THE WEEKS BLENDED.
THE MONTHS OVERLAPPED.
THE YEARS FLOWED.
MY LIFE REMAINED UNCHANGED.

SPRING BROUGHT BRIGHTNESS.
SUMMER THE LIGHT.
FALL THE GREY.
WINTER THE DARK.
MY LIFE REMAINED UNCHANGED.

THE CALENDAR MESHED.
THE SEASONS BLENDED.
THE YEARS ENDED.
THE DECADES REVOLVED.
MY LIFE REMAINED THE SAME.
