Measure the passing time <br />By sand-fall or by gears, <br />What measure can tell <br />The granulated years? <br /> <br />Measure the passing time <br />By wrinkles or by tears, <br />What measure can tell <br />The laminated years? <br /> <br />Measure the passing time <br />By mountains or by seas, <br />What measure can tell <br />The hardening arteries? <br /> <br />Measure the passing time <br />By artifact surmised, <br />What measure can tell <br />A rapture fossilised? <br /> <br /> - - -<br /><br />Ananta Madhavan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fossil-2/
