Poem: Sand of time


 

How many times has a part of you died 

 for a new one to be born

Your body constantly repairing 

 and growing throughout your lifetime

Yet it hides behind the same name, 

       the same I


How many times have you stood, 

 naked in words with someone, who later vanished

How many times have you stood 

 in complete silence with someone 

 and understood it all

       Love that you feel is timeless


Path of growing and learning

 is never ending

Healing your childhood wounds

 by yourself as an adult

Changing your road and discovering 

       the secrets your mind plays


Ghosts of past, present and future 

 will haunt you

You'll learn to master the ship

 as you sail through the time you have

Be doubtful of expectations,

       they tend to make you bleed


Your words and actions

 hold an immeasurable weight

Your footprints echo

 in the valleys of time

Everything is woven into a spiral, 

        moving ever forward


Story changes colour, 

 depending from where you're observing

Beginning and ending 

 hold a much different picture

Just as the water permeates through

            the sand grain, your why appears
