Essential, Trivial
Time seeks out and preseves
that which is essential, in due time.
Sooner than you expect,
you shall ask that inner mirror
what it is, all this time,
you've been living and dying for.
Before you, shall appear
a perfect, dark vacuity
that shall stare long at you
with startling, numbing clarity.
On desolate sands you shall leave
wet footprints and go far,
you can't be where you want to be
by staying where you are.
Yet time keeps everything from
happening all at once,
everything has its turn, all is
given an ample chance.
But, time weeds out and dissolves
all that is trivial, in due time.
