It’s a small thing
To see one hour tick over into another
The 59:59 turning to noughts
Another second in the arbitrary measuring of time.

Stop and think
About all those hours in your life
That ticked over without being observed,
Thought about,
Recognised.

Suddenly that one little second
Feels so incredibly miniscule
Yet so immensely momentous.
What an honour to have been one of only so many
To take note of that exact moment passing by.
