By the Hands of a Clock

The minute hand drags on
Stuck in the sands of time
Struggling to reach the next
And then the next
Finally an hour catches up
Even slower than the minute hand
Deeper in the quick sand
Quick in the act of slowing
Tediously moving
The hands persevere
And a day goes by
And so a month
And a year
