The Clockmaker's Secret
A young clockmaker hides precious memories inside the clocks he repairs
By Akmal95JrPublished 10 months ago • 1 min read
Inside the quiet little shop,
the boy polished clocks tirelessly,
even ones that ticked perfectly fine.
People wondered why he bothered,
but he smiled gently,
never explaining that each clock
held a moment he wished to protect.
Memories hidden in gears,
dreams sealed in brass,
soft laughter caught between seconds.
He saved the fragile parts of time
others didn’t notice.
Some moments, he believed,
deserved to remain untouched
preserved forever
in the heartbeat of a ticking clock.
