THE SANDS OF TIME....

The sands of time will shift
All you ever see.
But can never disturb the essence
The beauty that is me.
The sands of time will change
Every single face
Yet the truth behind it all
It never can erase.
The sands of time will shift
All mountains you perceive
All sorrow carried from the past
In the present as you grieve.
The sands of time will heal
Every festered grudge you hold
For the body will discharge it
When on the Truth you're sold.
The sands of time are constant
When worry takes your grip
Constantly reminding you
To let go your sinking ship.
The sands of time keep nagging
When doubt becomes tormentor
Begging to go within
Be present in the centre.
The sands of time keep raging
When anger wields its sword
As peace awaits for your return
Stillness your reward.
The sands of time hold judgement
As guilt becomes your foe
Asking to love what is
Through forgiveness its lets go.
The sands of time hold hardship
Believing life is tough
Illusion covers truth
And so you think there's not enough.
The sands of time don't waiver
Rigidly they see a way
Where strife and worry beckon
So they have the last word to say.
The sands of time keep breathing
Masks we wear, as a decoy
As we perceive the worlds not safe
And so it covers the inner joy.
The sands of time are not the enemy
They are experiences you must live
Grow through and relinquish
So in truth its LOVE you give.
