Time--A Sacred Thing
Sitting still and quiet,
Empty folded hands,
Legs stretched out loose,
Crossing hearts
Sharing this sacred thing
Deep inside numb tears lose
Holding churning emotions still,
Draped in the will
To get these moments right
Sharing this sacred thing
Heavy expectation hangs
With hearts that wish
The days to keep turning,
Trapping our will
To share this sacred thing
Without our willful nods,
The clock keeps tap ticking
As the chasm widens
Between here and now
And time and eternity
Sun beams saturate the hard floor
To soften misty eyes, wondering if
Our close distance to eternity
Could pause this living
To share more of this sacred thing
To share more of this sacred thing
Comments
Time is replaced by eternity and it is then love which determines how much of us are there.
