Time

TIME


Time, the intangible;
Leaving in its wake such change
From how things are.

Time, the master;
Invisible hurrier of tasks
To finish and of those yet done;
Surveying results on demand.

Time, the healer;
Benevolent physician,
Leaving at times, only the mere
Suggestion of a scar.

Time; elusive; stringent; infinite; and inadvertent controller
Of destinies …yours and mine by regulation.
