When Time Found Me

When Time Found Me

When called into you, to be immersed, gently caressed, apprehended

Your hands moved me as I came into view, saw all was new

No longer hidden in secret, now known, looked on by a world, I'll soon call my own 

Still needing to know why I came, my purpose 

I questioned you in my awakening, "why me?" only to hear, "why not?" 

I knew you the moment you first, sounded, touched me, as I felt you

Before I heard chimes of bells, clocks, crowing roosters at dawn

In the light of day, I reflected as it scattered of my skin, the dark of night that set me in

I'm reminded in every moment, of my being 

I can't see you as the wind, or the air I breathed 

Your effects are plainly shown in this body of my being 

It desperately fails me, in my members, I plainly, painfully see

You certainly remind me of the brevity of my stay with you, by saying

"You will never have another day to live as this

To open your eyes, enter into, remember those past

To make an impact as only you can, as you return 

Today, the world will remember you for your comings and goings

Time will smile in appreciation of your unique presence

It will be happy that you came its way and graced its presence".
