A Flock of Clocks

Libellule

Why then does time seem to fly
while I am merely trying to get by
make it through another day
holding tight to all that I say

As the seconds tick then tock
a symphony in every clock
I listen as the hands sweep
with every fresh tear I weep

For a prefer a lightly salted ink
when I pen what I then think
endless reams of filled paper
ready to serve as my taper

Waiting as the hour grows late
reminds me never to hesitate
in every fresh spill...
or I probably never will

Yet I come back to the sound
of these hours that compound
as if meant to simply arrest

collecting more and more interest
