The Master

I lie here in the darkness
While the Master sleeps.
My soul is free to play.

Master wakes and summons me,
"Leave your toys. Make haste.
Rise quickly and obey."

Master now lies silent.
I expect his summons,
My waiting soul in chains.

Once again he summons.
I rise again, sigh,
and leave my toys behind.

Master keeps me busy
until darkness comes again.
My toys are then unlocked.

What a lonely life
awaits the slave
Whose Master is a clock!
