When Time Stops

Clear moon shaped glass face
A simple brown leather strap
Twelve meaningful marks

Ticking to itself
Silent, pulsating tremors
Unchanging earthquakes

With only a bump
Extreme things are happening
Without you knowing

A simple flicker
Traumatic, simple flicker
Bad things will happen

For a brief second
Causing a ripple effect
Everything will cease

Everyone knows that
Eventually it must end
Slowing to a halt
