The Healer
Hello Max, my watch is acting erratic
It’s running very fast, this old watch
Max studied the watch for a moment
“Age plays tricks near the end, we rush”
It’s the twine of life”, says he
The spool spins faster near the end
Trying to fit all into the last of things
“Let the watch with me, we’ll see”
Max sensed the problem
He wound the spring
Like a cat chasing its tail it relaxed
Fighting for every second since the last
Max’s eyes did tear for the old watch
It recorded decades of the past
If only the watch could tell more
But it couldn’t even tell its own time
Now near the last it pushed the pulse
Wanting to spill out the record of its life
Desperate to reflect on the grandeur
Half suppressing its grief and anger
Wishing it could all last a little longer
Max put the watch to his ear, then to his eye
Looking closer to see deep inside
With care and compassion he cleaned away
The debris of the past and the magnetic
Influence of some evil spirits
Max wound the watch again
The pulse stopped its quivering
It began ticking and recording time again.
“Max, thank you, thank you
If only you could do this for men”
Max thought a moment and remarked
“Only God Can”
