What I Miss?

May your days be bright and full of light and love!
Time has passed, so much lost. Sleeplessness, worry, concern, and fear. But time has passed. Like a dreamy friend who comes to call, only to rob you blind. Time has passed. Like a dreamy friend who comes to call, only to rob you blind. Time has passed. Endless wakings and sleepless sleep. Time has passed. Days, weeks, months, years, and age. Oh age. Time has passed. This dream, this life, this endless dharma, so sweet it’s bitter. Time has passed. My waking to find this friend long gone, and with them all that was dreamed. Robbed blind by this friend so long endeared and loathed. Time has passed.
Robbed of so much held dear, but yet so much dearly given. On the day that I’d fight this thief, I find only a dream. A dream of time. And, time has passed. In having lost all, to gain so much the more. To experience what time was yet to give, brought on by the thief. Time has passed. I search for you thief. Give me what my dreams have brought. A karmatic release and loss to experience only to be dreamed once. Time has passed.
Who are you thief? What name do I give to the keeper of my life’s blood? What do I call the one that only can be found in a dream, but yet robs our every waking moment? Time, you are past.
Waking, what did I miss?
