Here's another one.  I hope you like it.

Time

Shadows canvas vanishing walls
as time slips into fleeting memories.
So expeditiously does time run through the briars;
as a rabbit would never to be seen hence.
Such mystery it shrouds in bounty.
Purposed obstinance does abide by omnipotence.
Where shall time take me?

Beyond the crossroads
the road winds by and by;
seemingly neverending.
Rest for the weary not.
For life hereafter abounds.
This road is never barred.

Even in death to be rushed
headlong into the abyss of time lost.
These moments, never to return,
dance with insanity on aged walls of innocence.
Merciless father of time prevails always.
Temperance; intolerable to him.

Rushed am I,
into this field of fleeting memories.
To have become but a flicker of light
principled in life.
Purposed in happiness
within this time alloted.

For what choice have I in turn?
Shall I forfeit myself
to these foraying shadows?
Or, relish in precious intricacies
of the lit halls of home?

I choose this home,
lit in love
regardless of time's intentions.

For here,
among those whom I cherish endlessly,
I find solace.
The wife I have chosen
with treasured children
light my way
beyond the crossroads.

By and by,
my spirit travels time's endless road
lit by the love they so selflessly give.

Lo, that when the road carry's me away
I will not be forgotten by them.
Time never to fade
their memory of me or I of them.
For they travel with me always.

Never shall we part.
Denying shadows their victory.
Memories to remain always,
for us, life.

When, indeed,
we pass through that field
of fleeting memories
we shall not be paused.

Nor, shall we become
faded or extinguished.
Never may the shadows
cast their sleep upon us.

We shall find resolve
there in love's foundation together.

There on that road time,
infinite time,
shall befriend us all.

Very much enjoyed -- makes one wonder about how time is influenced when one is surrounded by love.
