Clockwork
By Matt Decker
The dawn's about to break.
Are your dreams yet awake?
⚙
That race you face offers lunacy.
The only hope? Opportunity.
⚙
You walk the line that leads to nine.
Have you learned it turns on a dime?
⚙
The sun's rays shine upon one.
The day's designed to be done.
⚙
It's a quarter to two.
You've got a future to do.
⚙
You stand before the door to four.
You can stand to do a lot more.
⚙
May you meet Fate at the eighth gate.
It's never too late to create.
⚙
The eleventh hour has arrived.
You have survived. Tomorrow you thrive.
⚙
Relief beneath the midnight glow.
Mind's overgrind begins to slow.
⚙
From the rubble of trouble behind
You will rebuild with new blocks of time.
