Time stands still
The clocks all work,yet time stands still
a welcome balm, welcome as the lotus
rising from the pool by morning light to
herald day with blue and white
leave pendulums to rest,hands enfolded.
Tock and tick rhyme no more,silence now
until time demands and clouds drift again.
Take the rest, opportune leisure to make
man wise,stillest thoughts pass slow, let
pendulums cease their toil, golden orbs
halting dizzy impatient gyrations.

Thankyou Ahavati 'opportune leisure to make man wise,stillest thoughts pass slow . . . . . . this line is a vague reference to Ecclesiasticus ' the wisdom of the scribe cometh by the opportunity of leisure'
