within time, each segment of
time
the boundary of this life
the numbered moments we are
given
within this gift of God
the moments of our lives
unfold
they become known to us
our joys and our sorrows
the moments, turning
an ebb and flow
the balance and counterpoint
the journey of our days
within the time we are gifted
within this gift of God
