—

Time is a delicious desire
to embrace eternity,
an impossibility-
a glass cloud in a steel sky,
a shivering snowflake
on the surface of the sun
and we are all single sailors
on a vast ocean,
trying to catch a kiss
on the other side of the universe.

  Thank you Merril, I thought about throwing out the rest and just having those last lines. They might be my favorite lines
