in time

an old wooden cart
was pulled by two draft animals
as two wheels spun
in time to the passing of the sun
scoring music, conducting art
while Mozart on his cresting wave
of enlightenment and fire
tossed tools to a valley slave
for thought and even higher
the speed of universal light
being true to natural law
was bent in time beyond his sight
but not beyond recall
as two wheels spun
in time to the passing of the sun
