Best Timekeeper Poems
Psalm of praise
Oh Jah, we laud you
for your magnificence
as the one and only true God
and Sovereign of the universe.
Your splendor is beyond
our imagination and your glory
surpasses all conscious thought.
Even so, you take notice of us,
mere mortal man, less than the dust
on your celestial scales are we.
We are less than nothing
and yet you dignify us
by granting us to be
made in your image.
How we need to abound
in your marvelous qualities
of love, justice wisdom and power,
to be able to help those who oppose you
and deny your existence,
and your Authority.
Only because of your humility and mercy
do you continue to sustain us here
on our earthly dwelling place-
we are so undeserving yet by your grace,
your undeserved kindness
we exist and move and breathe.
Our very lives depend on your mercy,
your loving care is evident
in the beauty of the sun
as it rises and sets,
marking the limits
of our days and our nights.
We marvel Sovereign Lord,
at how marvelously we are made,
not only us but the everlasting cosmos,
how you have ordered
their existence by your command -
and by your dynamic energy
all continues to function precisely
and harmoniously as you have designed.
You the great Timekeeper,
have all things under your control,
and for all things there is an appointed time,
all according to your will and purpose.
How we rejoice at the prospect of life everlasting
in a paradise earth, when all things
will have been restored back to perfection.
Hallelujah, praise Jah,
all you heavens and earth,
and and all who enjoy Godly
peace in his everlasting glory!

Tick-tock … coco clock
Timekeeper eternal watch
Nothing is secret
By Eve Roper

Amidst of all the sorrow,
stood still a boy who wasnt ready to be the man he supposed to grow,
In the decaying dime for bitter crumbs,
Only the slickest minds could climb,
The rising wall of the Notre Damme.
He wasnt ready,no.not yet.
The timekeeper keep blowing the whistle,he said the time is up,
young stud would u please keep up!
And so he ran like a scared prey on the hunt,
Out where no one could find,
in the Disneyland of the Outcast, away from the past,
Tranquilized under the moonlight glow.
He’s just the boy who wasn’t ready to grow.
A dusky sky becomes night as I lay here in bed. The
thoughts are Endless, as they run through my head.
I dream of sweeter days, oh, where did time go?
I want to get it back and take it in slow.
Mr. Timekeeper, could you do me a favor?
Turn back the clock, we’ll fix it later.
Back to a momma’s boy, with freckles on my nose.
When I’d chase my brothers with the water hose.
Just a little bit shy and a lot too rough.
Boy, I could cry. But man, was I tough.
I learned about life and did what was told.
Everything’s different when your 8 years’ old.
Now, I’m all grown, but really not much.
Don’t know what it means to be a grown-up.
Work keeps me busy, while I learn how to fly.
By no means perfect, but I gotta try.
Until then, I think I’ll reminisce.
On the childhood days’ that seemed better than this.
Mr. Timekeeper, could you do me a favor?
Turn back the clock, we’ll fix it later.
Back to a green-eyed boy, with a two-foot smile.
Making daddy proud when I read my bible.
Jesus held me tight; 'Til waves began crashing.
The cancer took form, like dark clouds come storming.
A Brother lost the fight. Levi, I prayed for more time.
An Innocent soul gone, by natures foulest crime.
I learned about life and tried to be bold.
But, It’s hard to understand, at 8-years-old.
Mr. Timekeeper, I need no more favors.
Cause now I remember, how time passed me over.
The day Levi died, the joy was lost to me.
A teary-eyed boy, dried his tears on times sleeve.
Buried but not forgotten, that pain is inside me.
It looks like a brother, with his heart still in pieces.
I may be grown, but not all that much.
I’m just a child, who’s body grew up.
I still fear tomorrow and what it will bring.
Yesterday pains me, with the sad song it sings.
Mr. Timekeeper, where can I look?
To find that old joy, the grave swallowed up?
I’ve learned about life and how it is cold.
I thought it'd be different, at 8 years old.
THE YING YANG OF LIFE
The Ying and Yang of Life
requires that some do what they are born to
while others create the opposite venue.
We live in a world of duality
One cannot exist without the other
I tasted the fermentation of one
and got intoxicated with the result
of living in a cloud of sadness.
The pendulum swings and now as
the motion slows, I find that wisdom
ticks and tocks on both sides of an erratic clock.
Kept by a timekeeper who looks askew
while continuing to create destiny.

Let God Be All Things
Written: By Tom Wright
2/13/99
Let me be your day's illuminating light
and when complete, I'll be your night.
I'll be the sun that keeps you warm,
I am the wind, the eye within the storm.
I am the moon set in your darkest night.
Let me be the one who takes away your fright.
I am the tree that stands so tall
and yet the rain I am, that from the sky will fall.
I am the cloud in a lazy summer sky
and that small voice, that often you ask, why?
I am the flower and I'm the blade of grass
I'll often be at school, the teacher of your class.
I am the bird that flies about so free
and in the pretty song it sings, you'll find me.
I was the stranger along a dusty road,
the one you failed to help, by sharing his load.
I am that brother, in need of a drink,
knowing beforehand, each thought you'll think.
I am the child, both starving and sick,
I am the timekeeper, recording each heart's tick.
I'm the homeless person found on the street,
at times, the policeman, found walking his beat.
I'll be the unknown face, in every crowd,
for those unborn, I'll be the voice, that cries aloud.
I'm the ear that hears the things you say each day,
I'll be in that smile, that blesses you, along life's way.
When your end comes, I'll be your setting sun,
And at Heavens sunrise, there too, I'll be the one.

I stare at these old hands, where is the timekeeper?
Who can count my rings? Will they have to slice me?
How can these ancient hands be attached to my wrists?
Flipping them over I see that my pale skin is thinning
Three prominent blue veins under the skin touch my bracelets
Where is the time keeper? Why are the seconds so fast now?
I stare at these old hands, wondering to whom these old hands belong.
Alone I walk through the valley of unrest
my life but a dream within a dream.
Then you come to me as the evening wanes
and my heart skips a beat in each golden moonbeam.
You, an enigma that haunts my dreamland,
will never allow me to enter your realm,
so I'm left to the whims of the lonely Sandman,
as your image, my dreams you overwhelm.
Caught in between awake and asleep,
the bells on the clock, my master timekeeper.
Like the wings of the raven the darkness will keep
my visions of you, I'm the sleeper.

The timekeeper,
holds time in his hands.
Like the tick of a clock,
or the filter of sand.
The timekeeper,
is round as the moon.
Counting the seconds,
till humanities doom.
The timekeeper,
judges my fate.
Whom I do treasure,
and whom I do hate.
The timekeeper,
so wise and strong.
Yet he has a weakness,
that astonishes all.
The timekeeper,
know’s not one thing.
When his hour shall end,
when time's coo-coo clock sings.
KUKURUKUKU!!!
He would say KUKURUKU
Every new day he wakes
KUKURUKUKU!!!
In my yard there was a cock
KUKURUKUKU!!!
He used to be my timekeeper
KUKURUKUKU!!!
Whenever he crows KUKURUKU
It means the night is far spent
KUKURUKUKU!!!
Wake up from your sleep
KUKURUKUKU!!!
For it’s time to go to the farm
KUKURUKUKU!!
He crows KUKURUKUKU…
As every birds fly out from their nest

She calls I a thousand names
The black witch of the south
The I in evil
The nothing that lies between
The namesayer
And the timekeeper
The thousand ticking boxes
The terror in the midst
The horseman and the thief
The alien and the astronaut
That came knocking
The air that sucked her lungs
The bitter aftertaste of sugar
The candle that burns bright
The penny that stole the truth
The fantasy leaping from the page
The trouble in the woods
The headline and the news
The temptation that makes men blind
The kiss of death
The final straw
Yes she calls me all these things
And yet all I offered was love
Time is a diamond you cannot mine,
You cannot find, buy or steal it,
you cannot borrow more
if you lose it.
So mind it like your
mothers's ring.
A keepsake bequeathed
once, and only once,
for you, and you alone,
as timekeeper.
They say the good die young
And so I keep getting older
Keep testing fate
Keep winning
So I keep getting bolder
My fire keeps burning colder
I like to point at the lightning
And then laugh at the thunder
I figure I got 6 years
And 6 months before I'm 6 feet under
There's no kind of food
That can feed this hunger
I chewed a hole in my soul
And yet I was still starving
Just the other day
I saw my heart on a milk carton
I may not be invincible
But shouldn't be alive either
I never needed a watch
My lungs are my timekeeper
One breath means one less
Looking forward to the one
After there's only one left
