I’m here, daughter.
Release fear; take my hand instead. The same hand, last caressed, do you remember?
You held it when I left you.
Now let me
hold yours. We will chase away seeping cold
together,
as time
falls away
once
more.

Really like the idea of Time being a material object. It’s true; you can’t even take time with you.

It seems to me that in the afterlife, time would cease to exist. At least time as we know it!

I imagined reading that as prose written without line breaks and it sounded better. It would be great dialogue for a warrior queen character if you ever write a novel on that theme.

Heh, heh, warrior queen! The hysterical thing is, you are right…it could totally be her dialogue. I’ll keep it in mind for the future 😉
