An Unseen Thief
"Time is the thief you cannot banish." Phyllis McGinley, Writer, 1905 - 1978
Always with me but have never seen her
yet she engulfs my life in every way,
with her unseen chains why would she tether
me, why would she grip my life in her sway;
this strange bond I find it so hard to grasp,
my feelings about her sits in the cave
of my heart, she who holds me in her clasp
must know this, as I think of them as grave;
I know, I am prisoned in unseen cage
and must dance to the tunes thrown at me,
unable to catch her I park my rage
calling her thief on the run gives me glee.
Yes, Time is a thief you cannot banish
She is a thief even if I perish.
