Hi, Reconciled! Thanks for sharing this.
This is a haunting poem that I'm sure I'll think about over the coming days. This visual of the clock and the figure by the river goes well thematically. The first stanza and then the last of "good-night/good morning," and then reversed, frames this work, emphasizing the theme of time and its continuity.
Mentions of the Holy Ghost and the Divine move the work into the religious/spiritual realm, suggesting the entity "always on my mind" is a Divine one.
I wondered about the mention of "spring" given the overall tone and visual--the poem seems more fall/winter in theme. Just a thought.
A very minor point:
I think the poem should end with an em dash (--) rather than en (-), which is usually used as a hyphen, between words. Very minor, as I said, but poetry is so concise that even minor formatting issues like that can be distracting.
Thank you for sharing!
All the Best,
Stacia

You have written a lovely poem of true love. Thank you for the accompanying song. Lovely and very fitting for your poem. "Holy Ghost held close within us" -- wonderful sentiments that help the reader to understand the depth and meaning of the love between the two. Well done.

In my opinion, a singularly expressive poem, spiritual love revisited, rendered in unique construction and elegant free verse...
