Love's the Time Keeper

Use your love wisely or
it'll shrink to a tiny lump around
the throat.
Cherish,
be grateful,
lift and
be lifted.
Love's the time keeper,
keeps it hollow, immune
from its velocity,
even in your dwindling days,
keeps no giant clock at your bedside.
Love dials a different time zone,
immortality.
Love infinitely and with no questions, as if
the fountain of youth never dries!
