Der Glockenspiel

there are small pieces in time 
that brings us closer to who 
we truly are separating us from 
who we've been why we simply 

cannot have both the time we spend 
with loved ones co workers thee 
everyday people wandering about 
the super markets libraries schools 

and shopping mall time stands still
outside the doors outside of ourselves
waiting on us to presume the time 
we have left the time we've stored 

within this lifetime quieting emotions 
of time lost with family and friends whom
has passed on to complete another energy 
source of time pieces that we the living 

hope to someday experience at a 
latter time day by day we consume 
more time processing large amounts 
then dividing time with short comings
 
illnesses or mere failure to use time wisely 
in order to hold on to more time the pendulum 
swings with amazement the coo coo sounds
the cock crows the bell chime as we lose time
