    Companion


    Time I sit and wait wondering, “where you have gone?’
    Time I lost with distance between us
    Time should never suffer loss
    How to keep time near?

    Time is neither a person nor thing
    Time is an entity holding high honor
    Time is vulnerable yet impermeable
    Then how keep it dear?

    Time’s values are ideal
    Time carries limitations
    Time ends as it begins
    Then how keep it near?

    Patience, promptness, swiftness, momentum, pace, alacrity, celerity
    All elements to keep and master.
    Time subsequently holds all these dear
    Keep away the fear

    Fear failure
    Fear lost
    Fear strife
    For time lost

    Keep time near
    Keep time pure
    Keep time sharp
    Keep away from that dark, for whom time disappears

    Very very good. You must have dedicated time and more than a few re-writes to this. If you did not then it's even better.

    Love the structure of the poem and the use of words to form the aspect that if you fear the worst which is part of darkness it will waste and make your time go away and you will not have any time. Nice.

    time can stop only if you want it to

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
