LINES OF THOUGHT © 2016

Give time to time,

For time needs time to reflect,

To mature the steps it has yet to take,

And reveal what is yet to awake.

Give time to time,

For time needs time to heal,

The wounds that the heart cannot conceal,

And what hurts now, in time will yield.

Give time to time,

For time, in its season, will be love,

Transforming pain into gentle warmth above,

And in the arms of time, you'll find your worth.

For Nicola.
