What if I think of this
time as a drop of water
falling into a puddle with
such fluidity that it makes
no ripples adding to the
volume of time without
the waves of action and
reaction. Simply sliding into the
next moment.
In this most sacred time
feed your spirit. While the
sand is falling silently body
and mind muted with solidarity
spend these precious grains
of time feeding your soul.
I promise myself to not
get lost in the sound
of silence the soundless
steps through the
sands of time.
I promise the world we
won’t be muted forever.
The seconds will tick the
minutes will thud and the
hours will ring. The drop
will birth waves and
the sands will sing.
