Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Time Not a Thief Called Time

I think old lovers wish
Einstein correct
and Time not a thief
called Time;

A jester perhaps
that toys with our hearts
leaves Spring not a leaf
all youthful players aged
parts...

But nearer the end
when time less a friend
when the hours grow ragged
when all seems sorely jagged

when the sun is too hot
and the winter cold twice

Time chastened by God

responds with a paradise
