Quercus shadows stretch long arms
Acer leaves whisper latin psalms
Sedum carpets the crunching edge
Thymus releases fragrant pledge
Brass on gravel writes the hour
Twilight steals the daylight's power
Pocket watch sings metallurgy
Gravel answers quietly
Root systems map the turning tide
Mycelium threads the dark outside
Watch hands move in patient sweep
Soil keeps the secrets that it keeps
Brass on gravel writes the hour
Twilight steals the daylight's power
Pocket watch sings metallurgy
Gravel answers quietly
Lichen scripts the rusted case
Mosses clock the slowing pace
Beetle tracks the metal rim
Night blooms open on a whim
Brass on gravel writes the hour
Twilight steals the daylight's power
Pocket watch sings metallurgy
Gravel answers quietly
Dawn will fracture horizon's seam
But twilight owns this gravel dream
Brass grows warm from human touch
Gravel loves the weight too much
Brass on gravel writes the hour
Twilight steals the daylight's power
Pocket watch sings metallurgy
Gravel answers quietly
Time and stone in twilight marry
Brass kisses gravel goodbye
Twilight exhales soft and sly
