Mourning

Time's companion
the Wounded Heart;
with its love,
patience;
its weakness,
hope;
its albatross,
the Unknowable.

All ever present, in the invisible unforgiving tide;
there to co-exist,
to mend or fester,
strain and gnash or
forebear in submissive repose
to envision the light or
fear suggestive shadows
for eternity;
lost hand in hand
with the constant,
interminable,
Time.
