Hands of Time

A quiet pestilence,

Killing all it touches

Without making a sound.

Creating constant decay

To wherever it may pass;


Nothing can slip through

Its eternally ticking hands

Which hold the lives

Of all who live.


And one day

The stars themselves

Will fall in its clutches.

A constant reminder,

That in time,

Nothing will matter.

A piece of poetry about meaninglessness.
