A Clock Said Hello

Shomari looked at a wall of orange and said it needs something.

Looking at Imani and Isaiah he asked what do you thing the walls needs?

Imani jumped up off the couch and said it needs a watch.

Isaiah said no it doesn’t it needs a clock!

In the room with a wall of orange was a chair, a couch, a loveseat and flowers in a vase of white crystal play.

I want a clock of time Shomari said after much deliberation that will allow us to travel to and fro.

Imani eyes wide curious looked at the still almost empty room and threw herself on the couch of ugly red plaid saying I agree.

Shimmering in the air was a chandelier of glass colored lights of blue green yellow raining rainbows of luck wish and charm on each wall.
Dreams are wild and huge if you wish it true said Isaiah said in voice of serious.

Grabbing coats and accessories they left walking in controlled movements of robot to find the mysterious clock of time.

Traveling far and wide looking at a floating clock here there they giggled running from one to another .

Laughing with glee and happy they pushed buttons crisscrossed with lines zig zag and circles written take a chance take a chance.

Finally out of the wall popped a bird of knowledge crowing happy happy you found it you found it fast swift you did you did.

Joshing with dimples apile they grabbed hands a circle go around around until light with joy.

Accepting the clock of time and with finger of surety they pushed a time of not known and zoomed flash flash flash until 1878.

Changing clothes swift Shomari, Imani and Isaiah went looking around hiding as they saw unfriendly and left quick as blink.

All three yawned with perceptive tiredness and called it a day of success bright and hung the clock of time treasured on wall of orange.
