You Constituted Time

You Constituted Time - meaning Summary

Time and Worship Redefined

The speaker addresses a person (or force) who has reshaped her sense of time and eternity, making what she once called Eternity into a revelation of that other. Because of this redefinition, she experiences a shift from seeing things in relative terms to recognizing an absolute presence. The poem records a spiritual reorientation: earlier habitual devotion (“slow idolatry”) is corrected as the speaker aligns herself with the newly apprehended central reality. It is a concise claim about perception, divinity, and a converted allegiance.
