Hands of Time

Cupped within the grasp of mine
the chi does swirl a treasure
twirling atoms held sublime
eternity unmeasured.

Reflections lift from hand to eye
each limpid surface framed
The sky above doest bring a sigh
as glorified is His name.

A world within two cupped hands
A world within each mind
Universes do unfold
within the scope of time.

So taste the waters offered thee
and see beyond the farthest sea.
