Time's Servant

Black band and broken face,
Riding my wrist through time and space.
The time now and the time then,
Ticking on, forever on end.

Born five years ago from now,
Worn always, through every hour.
The time now and the time then,
Ticking on, forever on end.

In and out the water folds,
Yet always the smoothness holds.
The time now and the time then,
Ticking on, forever on end.

The silver rim has fallen off,
Now the time sometimes stops.
The time now and the time then,
Ticking on, forever on end.
