the sands of time

I walk
on the sands of time
feeling bereft, and
out of line

with natures
progression,
I, stop, and digest
my vision quest

and, call forth
the winds, a true testโ€ฆ

of our ability
to align
with lifeโ€™s requests

one step in front
of the other, feeling
the granules beneath, feet

on solid footing,
even when Iโ€™m unsure
of the current effortingโ€ฆas

realization dawns, and
the withdrawn, now gone,
is transformed into something more

than Iโ€™ve ever doneโ€ฆ

Vast sand dunes at sea,
Such a juxtaposition
Underneath? The same.
Pondering the truth of life,
Watching for the nexus. Unity.
