The Double Helix Weft

The Double Helix Weft
David J Walker


Time is an infinite tapestry
in the warp of a double helix weft
the days unseen 
are merely the dream
of a calendars chronicled theft

Time is an illusive lover 
Promises strewn on the sill
Of a window at random
Broken abandoned on the anvil 
of what might and what will

Time is the distant galaxy 
Light years in a single breath
When the day is done
No one has won 
The race matching live against death
