RING OF TIME

Time is a lens through which we view both sides.
The lens is our life, before and ahead.
Our life is a ring for here and elsewhere.
The ring is a frame for vision and sight.
The frame is a form that moves and abides.
The form is a theme expressed but unsaid.
The theme is a pattern for praise and prayer.
The pattern – a figure for name and time.
