“Dichotomies of Time”
Time –
So intangible;
yet so real –
Elusive, persuasive;
interminable, fleeting –
Stands between us;
lays before us –
Swift of wing while together;
an eternity while apart –
Transcends all pain;
offers promise of joy –
To plan ahead for;
to enjoy for the moment –
Beyond our grasp;
yet ours to mold –
Time –
That which defines
our very existence
That which I
would share with you –
Time.
