Clockmaker's Mistake Poem by Bethany Maxwell

Clockmaker's mistake
Added consciousness to the tick
Will to search
Find the hand that winds,
Added purpose,
Un-inten-ded journey,
Thoughtful gears,
Mesh together,
Form new links,
Ignite the soul,
Eternal wake,
Sleep escapes,
On and on
Tick
Tick
Tick
Given wonder,
Question all,
‘Til time runs out,
Stick together
Slowing cogs,
On and on
Tick
Tick
Tick
Clockmaker watch,
Clockmaker hide,
Mi-stake is done,
We are here,
The consciousness to the
Tick
Tick
Gone.
