Time

sorenbarrett

On the face of time are two hands

although different both are right

they are left, to mark falling sands

Neither tells day from night

 

In circles, time does flow,

both hands in the same direction

When time's bad, cobwebs Grow,

when good, as fast as a mirror's reflection

 

what is long, so Quick does go

Both pass where the other has been

What is short is so slow

Both end where they begin

      Good write SB.
      I lost the hour hand on me clock. For me, it's always something 'past', or something 'to' the hour, but I never know what hour it is. Doh! lol.
      e.g. 20 past x hour; or 10 to y hour. Aghh, not algebra too!

        Thanks Orchi. Mine stopped some time ago so it's always the same time.
