Father Time strokes his beard,
and watches the sand in his hourglass fall.
Each little grain a moment in time,
memories of seconds that belonged to us all.
His end grows near and he’s reached his peace,
he will flip the hourglass once more.
A tiny baby will take his thrown and watch the first grains drop.
Time will pass through each day and he will grow old like every year before.
The bones of the years before build the foundation of the throne for tomorrow,
when a new babe takes his place in time.
While the world sings together in song,
the past hears the New Years bells ring their last chime.

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
