Time on my Hands

My life ticking on
marking out the hours
running through my fingers
like the sands of time

signaling dawn to dusk
with minutes marching on
hands rotating round
my illuminated dial

held in my palm
cradled so securely
 chain anchors time down
to my own life line

so ticking on by
seconds, minutes, hours
measuring all my days
that then turns to years
