A Man To His Fair Mistress Said

A Man To His Fair Mistress Said

A man to his fair mistress said

As a reminder that Time flies!

(If it was then she went ahead

Is wide open to your surmise)

But as he said it then I guess,

It stays a major reason why,

Time is a way that we express

The import of its passing by;

As all we know’s to be defined

By its perimeters—such stuff

To be kept constantly in mind,

We’re given only just enough.

So limited by time and space

They offer opportunity;

Allow us if we would embrace

The Infinite—Eternity.
