LIFE

Me, in the midst of dateless centuries,
By Love concealed,
Now, newly swathed in mortal destinies,
Hath Time revealed.
A breathing space, a silence, and behold
What I have been,
Unswathed, the circling centuries enfold,
Again unseen.
With Days & Nights brief fellowship was mine;
But unto thee
I come, a child inseparably thine,
Eternity.
