Clocks
December 9, 2022
Clocks bewitch me
Their blank, perfectly circular faces and two, simple, little hands
One smaller than the other
How you can hear each second pass
Every tick sounds like a bomb slowly waiting to go off
The motion of time
My fascination of this concept remains a mystery
Maybe I found peace in knowing that no matter what, there would be a time
Always
That even though it may be 3:45 in Boston yet 8:45 in London, we share that 45
Everyone experiences this 45th minute at the same moment
Time connects us
It unites us
Time is what forms us as it passes
From birth to death
Time of birth: 10:45
Time of death: 2:15
We age because of it
We change because of it
Our skin goes from smooth to creased
Our eyesight goes from sharp to weary
Our minds stay humble, yet ever wiser
Clocks, so effortless, yet they hold so much power
