Dragging Limbs

Etched in stone-
Life's clock will never waver
Yet I, in my ignorance
Traverse my existence
As if in my control
Are all variables, at all times
And I may recline

But the hands reminds me
That with each second given up
Each minute unused
An opportunity is lost
A challenge forfeited
Thus a sad consequence-
I accomplish nothing

I wish that somehow
Some faction exists
In the sanctums of my mind
That will soon rescue me,
Shine into my eyes, tug at my limbs
And remind me of certainty-
Time will never wait on me
