IN LOVE WITH TIME

I've fallen in love with Time

It is patient as it is kind

Allows me a latitude of self-discovery

that is very rare to find

I like the fact that it holds no memory

and finds no use to cling to the past

It is never urgent about the future either

and it forgets yesterday, fast

While in its grip I'm alive in the present

listening to its song, played in the background

Its rhythmic percussion lulling my sleep

Conducting my day, defining my playground

Within its framework all encompassing 

lies a measure of life from beginning to end

Immersed I bathe in its constant existence

Traveling companion, my silent friend

Although it was there before I was born

and helped me open my eyes to its presence

It will continue I know long after I'm gone

Revealing to others the secrets of life's essence

Cradled in such infinite caress

That gives me space to brood in penitence

It blends my happy into my sad

Asking not, where I go, where I went

And thus comforted with new revelation

As my time will only forever be mine

I try to live life to fulfil its fullest

Falling, time and again, in love with time
