Old and new, side by side,
always riding changing tides.
Ebb and flow, rise and fall,
topsy turvy times for all.
Old church clock strikes at noon,
a smartwatch plays a tune,
then and now we measure time —
see how our times seem to rhyme

Thoughts about time and how history echoes itself. Inspired by seeing the sleek and modern Waverley Station next to the old Stamp Building in Edinburgh.
