Timelines

A "Doctor Who" poem tonight, very loosely inspired by tonight's episode..

Timelines
 
The cloister bell is ringing loud
Seconds leaking with each chime
Ghosts of future, wrapped in shroud
Portents of doom, of end of time
 
The cloister bell is ringing loud
Running madly, echoes of feet
The fractures of a singing cloud
Crossing timelines in each beat
 
The cloister bell is ringing loud
Exploding atoms, frozen state
Doctor standing, still unbowed
In quantum chance of fickle fate
 
At the heart of Tardis, timelines tear
He heals the wounds, ends the fear
