Everywhere Are Clocks

May 5, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is psychology.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A psychological poem about the clocks that surround us:

Everywhere are clocks:

Timers turn leaves,

Tell birds to take off,

Fish to return home,

Restore desire,

Shift scenery in the night sky.

Lions and fish, crabs and virgins

Move to the music of the moon,

As we, too, dance to symphonies

Unheard. The year is a melody.

We sing our lives in harmony

With singers invisible, magical,

Fellow musicians whom we love

But do not know.

The air is alive with chimes

Which summon us to celebrations

At which we feast on tears.
