Time

Time

by Carmen H Gray

A ghostly and constant companion

Walks with me down the thorny paths

Through the bend in the cool river

Atop the snow-capped mountain 

In the evergreens, along the babbling brook

In the star-studded velvet skies in the deep of night

Beyond the pale, violet clouds at dawn

She holds fast to my whole being

She breathes in unison with my breath

Only to release me here when my days are done

She is the past, the present and the future 

Mingled into one glorious existence
