The Timekeeper

Hey all! I’m back with my next set of wayras. Enjoy!

The timekeeper rests
Behind impregnable doeor
Hidden to humans hostile,
Fostering intentions
Immoral and egregious.

Circular patterns,
Spiralling around doorway,
Cogs gearing up to work
While timepieces track time
Depict cyclic nature of time.

The Timekeeper’s will
Undisputed,gets fulfilled,
Wields
Weltrador’s wicked scythe,
Hidden within vast walls
Of inconceivable beauty.

Guarding great secrets,
The most precious of which
Calyxa’s Chronometer,
The clock controlling clocks,
Whose tick dictates time’s destiny.
