Greenwich Poem by dana besarani

'I am Greenwich... the ancient beloved of clocks. I reside in the south-east of a coastal city, embraced by an old homeland full of secrets and odes. They call me the cradle and home of time, for within my heart, seconds are born and find their meaning. On one side of me, time is added; on the other, it is subtracted. Yet I, like a calm and silent witness upon my throne of stability, remain carefree. With just a simple line across my face, I divide the Earth into two clear, balanced halves, separating the Eastern and Western hemispheres. In the world's clock, my name is read with pride. I am the zero chime at the beginning of time, the guide for ships navigating seas and oceans. Many homelands ahead of us welcome the sun, while just as many behind us await the morning light. I have brought the sun into homes so they can trust the ticking of their clocks. I am the centre of moments, living within the depth of a pure greenery. I share a secret, sacred bond with the moon and the stars, so that humanity, wherever they may be, truly recognises the value of the seconds of their lives.. Dana Besarani...
