premonition and recollection

the cinderella slipper
both rare and
a comfort
the embrace of
time
time
time
of longing
and imagination
of silent song
dissolving
time
time
time
measuring heart beats
between words
unspoken
of rain drops
and snow flakes
dragging mountains
to the sea
time
time
time
why in heaven's name
is there no such thing
as time?
