Relentless
Relentless, are these hands
They moved as I ran,
They shifted as I crawled,
They advance as I stay still,
They creep as I walk.
Relentless, are these hands
They danced as I breathed,
They shall sweep as I cease,
They have moved throughout life,
They will move forevermore.
Unloving, are these hands
That effortlessly escape my loving grasp,
Pragmatic, are these hands
That make progress as I make talk,
Callous, are these hands
That smear shame at my face and mock,
Persistent and deaf, unstoppable and blind,
Relentless, are these hands,
The hands of the clock.
