Your poem is a splendid dissertation on passing time. Plato wrote, ''Time is eternity that sees its own implementations.'' Happy New Year, dear Daniel! 10

But what you quoted is itself so poetic, a metaphor that links time and eternity in fruitful relationship. I reminded of Shelley's paen to the sun-god: YOU ARE THE EYE BY WHICH THE WORLD SEES ITSELF AND KNOWS ITSELF DIVINE.
