Time is so much more
Than that minute of regret
Or that hour of pain
Or that day of abandon and escape
Or those weeks of waiting
Or those months of grief
Or those years of relentless struggle.

Time can move the fixated
It can change the adamant
It can correct the incorrigible
It can improve… or it can worsen
It can enrich… and also impoverish
It can reverse fortunes
And make us experience impermanence

And yet, in and through
Our solitary moments
Our silences
Our pauses
Our deep work
Or our intense lovemaking
It can be our exit to eternity.
