How would we measure time

Without the hands of a clock?

We’d watch the sunrise

Rise high in the sky

We’d watch the sun dip

Dip into the night

We’d see the stars twinkle

Twinkle seconds away

Around the full moon

Moon on full display

We’d feel eyes grow heavy

Heavy with sleep

We’d see the sun again

Again in the sky

Sky would hold secrets

Secrets of time
