Time and Eternity

I
I always wait for her!
There isn’t ever
An instant when
I stop wanting her!

And when she stays with me,
I desperately try
To reach eternity
Thru evanescent Time!
****

II
During the night’s long
Hours when dreams are
Real in the alien world

Of friendly imagination,
I feel that she is mine.
But then at dawn,

That cunning thief of joy
And bliss that is called Time,
Flies away with the Dream!
