Clockwork sun, and clockwork moon,
You have your paths to take.
And on this earth,
This clockwork earth,
We follow in your wake.
Clockwork life, and clockwork death,
We're built from wood and tears,
Inside these eyes,
These clockwork eyes,
I hide my deepest fears.
Clockwork smile, and clockwork laugh,
I bring all people joy,
But in this place,
This clockwork place,
I'm nothing but a toy.
Clockwork gears, and clockwork spring,
To move is clockwork's will.
But in the end,
That certain end,
All clockwork must stand still.

Thank you for sharing that lovely poem. I really enjoyed it.
It's so refreshing to read traditional styles. I love this poem and the author's unique voice.
I really liked the style, it meshed so well with the cyclicle theme. I really found it very well put together. Thanks for posting!

your a great poet...keep up on writing poems.
Nathan, this is superb. In poetry there are many things that may grab a persons soul and in this one you have imagination and rhythm blended beautifully. Well done and I look forward to seeing more from you. BJR
