Nice :) Your image of time stealing time was particularly beautiful and effective. One line reads a bit confusing, interrupts the flow;
"A dim sliver lights dawn in cautious haze.
I recommend.. lights "the" dawn..
first impulse was to read the word "lights" as a noun.
Got it out of your system? Give yourself credit. You write well.
I can't be objective about the poem. But I think you said it,
Trust springs hope in future's bond.
Time no longer pains.
As objective as I can be, I think both have an infectious, cautious joy.
Thank you for sharing
Good luck on your future together.
