Foul Mistress Of Time

PoetryA Requiem

Jan 4

Written By Zachary Phillips

Release me
From these binds
Oh foul
Mistress of time

Let me
Deduce
The fountain
Of youth

The master
Crafts a puzzle
Then finds
The key

Sit and watch
The stone
To see
If it grows

We are born
A ticking clock
But die
A broken camera

The moment is
Only gone
When we
Fail to remember

This poem is from the book A Requiem For What Could Have Been: Poetry For The Broken
