Time is Not a Thief

Stop saying that.

It’s not a clock with hands

ticktocking away as it

steals your freedom.

It doesn’t come at night to

gather your valuables

and vanish into the darkness.

Time is now. It says I guarantee

you this moment, and nothing more.

While you toil over sins and

sadness of the past, or longings

for the future,

I’m here. Offering you

something you won’t ever find

elsewhere.
