Canyons

Deep ravines of the land
   mirror the deep ravines 
inside us all 
Canyons where the remnants
   of past ages
can be seen 
They have left their mark in stone 
Another age 
Another time 
When things were 
    vastly different 
then 
they 
are 
today 
Readers of this poem 
Remember  the words of Pythagoras
"Time is the stream I go fishing in"
We cannot halt the onrush of the years
The vast ravines within and without 
will have their say 
"This too shall pass" - 
words of comfort from the great King Solomon
 can help us on our way 
to eternity
