all that was
all that is
all that is to come
the capture of time
the hands of a child
the face of a mother
a dandelion clock frozen in amber
the greying hair
of a warrior woman
all that was
all that is
all that is to come
an earth guarded by three muses
a cratered moon
ascended to the heavens
all that was
all that is
all that is to come
the final particles
decaying
to
darkness
