Know Thyself, Heal Thyself Prompt

Time Is a Thief, Only If…

Poetry

Time could take all of my things
because matter encloses this 4th dimension.
Belongings, along with my body
deteriorate, despite prevention.

Time could take my friends from me,
but not what I exchanged with them.
Whatever our interaction served in us
is an eternal inner anthem.

Time could take my brain from me
and possibly my mind,
but it could never even touch my soul;
soul’s Laws are of a different kind.

Time takes many things from me
only when past and future “sing”.
Because when the term means only now,
it doesn’t need to steal; it lacks nothing.

This is a response to one of September’s prompts of Know Thyself, Heal Thyself : “Write about all the things time couldn’t take from you”.
