In Due Time
seeking out the essential,
in due time.
sooner than you expect,
you shall ask that inner mirror
what it is you've been living
and dying for, all your time;
before you, shall appear
a perfect, dark vacuity that shall
stare at you with startling,
numbing vividness;
as you leave wet footprints
on desolate dry sands, knowing
you can't be where you want
to be by staying where you are;
yet time keeps everything
from happening all at once,
for in time everything is given
ample time, taking its time;
weeding out all that is trivial,
in due time.
