'I Am' by Gem

Gem's poem reveals yet another take on 'I Am' and is beautifully worded.

I am an organic clock.
My machinery melts with the solemn, slumbering gaze
Of some fiery presence in the cold and futile
Wasteland of one freckled and flawed universe.

Making sounds eclipsed by the pining silence of
Nothing.
Shining, in the telescope vision
Of that uncertainty,
Of our creator.

Ticking, in a well-established
And worn out phase of
Clinching and clasping
Rusted and golden components
Which will one day,
Stop.
