Measuring a Moment

Spending
Cheating
Gaining
Loosing
Time

Deafening quiet
Broken by rhythmic ticking
Paired with perpetual tocking
Keeping endless procession
Measuring a moment

Turning gears
Arranged by circumference
Interlocked through extension
Turning in jerky harmony
Measuring a moment

Winding spring
Released radial tension
Transformed mechanical energy
Creating incremental action
Measuring a moment

Seconds become minutes
Transform to hours
Stretch to days
Drag to years
When do years cease and eternity engages

Halting hands
Frozen gears
Suspended motion
Dancing arrests
Measuring a moment

Counting life's moments
Calculated the weightiness
Plumbed the meaning
Reverberating in memory
Measuring a moment

Freezing time
Hoped by fools
Wound and rewound again
Starting more revolutions
Measuring a moment

Seconds become minutes
Transform to hours
Stretch to days
Drag to years
When do years cease and eternity engages

Sensing
Passing
Making
Never-ending
Time

Love you E
