I had a collection of hours enclosed in a cabinet of days. The carved glass doors in front gleamed with a rose-covered haze. So I couldn't quite see the number, though it was surely full to the brim, to take out and spend as I wanted or throw away on a whim. After years the doors gaped open the cabinet hinges grown weak. Hours fell out and melted away though I took no note of the leak. Today I ran to the cabinet, fully afraid, but wanting to see my endless collection of hours lined up waiting for me. But my cabinet of days was empty and I know that the thief was I. Now the good that might have been purchased was beyond my means to buy. ------------------ ~*~ Time erases and rewrites all the lines. What remains is the poetry! ~*~ |

Echo this is probably the most profound piece, I think, that you have ever written! Are you sure that you aren't a bit older than you have told us?!  ------------------ Denise |
