The Second Hand ode

Photo by amo_designare


In perpetuity, it whisks around,
Neither ever halting, nor lagging…
Or observe perhaps with due delight,
Allure, of the clock, in which it lies.

Utters the second hand, then to me,
If I pause, time too shall have to cease.
The clock, confers on my steady pace,
To revel in its stead, on this wall.

Life revs on, ambling only onward.
Enjoy these runs, when you can…
Gather some worthy moments.
On the ever bustling lifetimes.

Move on, with the rhythm of life,
Some trice trying, some time smiling..
By and by, that day shall be here too..
When second hand will have to halt.
