TIME

Even after all this time

your voice can do it for me.

A lightning strike in darkest night

you bring everything else into contrast.

You change everything

with a simple turn of phrase.

Nails hammered into the blackboard

shattering its cool black slate

erasing its simple perfection

do no less than you

to assail my senses

steal my peace.

You redefine all else

even after all this time.
