The examination of time and its many modes (ecxerpt).

The examination of time and its many modes.

 

We are the explorers

Of time.

In which

Our watchfulness

Reveals

A revelation

An awareness

Of life’s turning wheel.

We the silent sentinels

Examine time

Embracing

The glue that alloys

That anneals and binds

The eternal tick,

Hum and thrum

Of the Atomic.

Oblivious to the inhalation

And exhalation of breath

We breathe

A measurement of time.

And dream itself

Three thirty

In the darkness

A stop time

In slow time

When nightmares wake

And temperatures drop
