"One Week "



"One Week "
Greg Budig 2020

A definition of time. 
A passage to the future. 
Seven days
One hundred and 
sixty eight hours.
Seven sunrises and sunsets. 
Each week blurs into the next. 

Life moves within 
this timeframe. 
Each hour has been 
precisely numbered. 
Each day has been 
anciently named. 
Each moment is sacred. 

Forty hours of working. 
Fifty six hours to sleep. 
Hours that are often 
times wasted. 
Hours we sadly 
never get back. 
Each hour silently passes.

The calendar marks 
the passage of time. 
The clock on the wall 
mechanically clicks.
Designed by humans 
to validate time. 
Each minute being recorded.

A week means nothing 
in a lifetime. 
A week often passes 
without a thought. 
It's been a week I will   
always remember.
A week I long to forget. 

The End
