CLOCKMAKER'S SECRET

Gears whisper at dusk.
Time hums 'neath brass.
Hands pulse like sparrows.
Hours learn how to breathe.

Sara, your clock is a wonderful metaphor for life - life as it breaths! Okay, you get to be Image Queen for the day!!! Your last line is supremely inspiring and a great end to this visceral experience of time as it whispers, hums, pulses and breaths! Blessings and hugs! This is a gem - faving it!

A cool poem…the bond between the clockmaker and the clock, time contained - but is it, it breathes
