Time Has Finally Caught Up With Me
Time has finally caught up with me —
A hush upon the bone —
The Mirror whispers differently —
Than when I stood — alone.
The Mind once fleet as Sparrow’s wing —
Now trembles — in the air —
As if the Thought — forgot its perch —
And left me — waiting — there.
The Body bends — where once it sprang —
The Pulse is soft — and shy —
The Seasons weigh their evidence —
Against a tender Sky.
Yet in the frailty — glimmers Light —
A Candle — small — but true —
It tells me even Ashes breathe —
A secret — brave and new --
And Time — has made a Friend of me--
Regretful -- yet it's true --
