New one from me, wrote this today. Let me know what you think...
'Second Hand'
The second hand ticks
Away, soon completing
Full circle
Around the face;
Your face,
It’s not the same,
Times change.
Do you?
The second hand
Still ticks,
Still life -
It all adds up,
But to what?
You sleep.
Do you dream?
Day dreams -
Second hand
Hand-me-downs.
One more turn
About face
And you’re still standing.
Standing still.
You’ve lived your life -
Second Hand.
