Liz I Promise

I will be at war with time

When it pulls on you

With the weights of gravity

I will bring levity

I will be at war with time

When it wrinkles crevices deep in your face

With dry desert sun

I will bring water

I will be at war with time

When it bores you

With repetitive black and white themes

I will bring colour

In these small ways

I will help keep your youth

Even as we inevitably grow old,

together.
