Clock Confiscates
Three hands of time roll,
pass one by one in circles
golden hours, silver minutes
relentless seconds.
thoughts pulse to murky future
lost in what's there left behind.
Mystical motion
tonight transcends tomorrow.
Unending dark tunnels fill
pleasure and sorrow.
Spinning Earth revolving Sun
new Moon born, trapped in cycles.
Unanchored moments
to hit buzzer, and win game.
Hurried life runs out of time
as clock confiscates.
A storm in which, all are lost
clouds emptied...and stars faded
Hold on Wanderer...
Let's have an easier life.
Let's fold time, tuck it away.
Big tiny moments...
Deepest blue and Highest high
Time will just stop, when you die.
