Time Pieces
We are all ruled by time
Our life ticks away
Seconds, minutes, hours at a time
We all begin wound
Our cogs meshing and turning
Just simple time pieces
Ticking away
Freat clocks and wrist watches
Unwinding as we approach midnight
Our cogs loosen
Our chimes quiet
And our ticking silent
It's odd such complicated pieces
Cease in the simplest of ways
We each have our own time
Some faster
Some slower
Can it be kind
As our midnight approaches
And as we unwind
Our cogs loosen and we realize
We defined the length of a persons life
It's funny
Simple Time Pieces Are We
