Time is the metaphor <br />Time is the nurse <br />Time is the minder of all things. <br />Time demands many loves and many lovers to <br />Satisfy the wants of life/ the needs of death. <br />It was a sound I once heard; <br />Of songbirds and baseball <br />Of rock songs and baby coos <br />Of the autumn rustle and winter rush <br />Of soft nights in the arms of lovers <br />Nestled in the tender embrace of the winter night.<br /><br />Guillermo Veloso<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/time-the-minder/
