Time

Setting off into the unknown

A sudden hint of charm

Awakes in me

A girlish enthusiasm.

I glance over my shoulder

A powerful wind crosses my face

As if an assertive rejoinder

To that remote

Long gone perception

Of the inconceivable that pervaded me

When I was a dormant witness to myself.

Brought by Time

Indomitable and indifferent to chance

Shrewd as it is

It has come to feed my urge

To seal a deal

So I could be me again

When nothing is left to conceal.
