About Time

Updated: Jan 15

About time you subscribed to my time zone

Unless you wish to exist on your own

I’ll be a time traveller

Unravelling history

I haven’t quite figured it out yet

It’s still a mystery

I’ll be a tick tocking clock

A disgrace of a face

Not a grandmother or father

Rather just my head

Chiming every 15 minutes with my pendulum of lead

Time meaningless

Minutes and hours

A flower won’t blossom if you watch it

But we know it grows

It’s just too slow

Watch maker

History is just a second behind me

And remembering what’s gone before

Is how we could honour time more

For every mistake has already been made by men

Time and time and time again

What I like about this Liz is that every few seconds you hit a gem! Watchmaker History, disgrace of a face, honouring time more, each I admit , I rolled over, but! immediately had a hang on a second moment, to let thought pew forth!
