methodic melodies

Methodic melodies sound from a great hall
Systematic dances stepped in perfect time
Couples turn and sway in mirrored unison
Frozen is the sand in the hour glass
Hands on the clock forever stilled
A single moment suspended in time
Forever left turning with the music
Individuals lingering in the hollow great hall  
As methodic melodies play
And they remain forever stilled in time
While all the world continues to turn
