Let It Be

Time passes silent.
Ego grows more and more violent.
Seconds become hours.
Anger in the heart devours.
Whenever will this end?
Can the innermost bend?
Taking years not days.
Allowing for the lifting of the haze.
Wisdom ages.
The heart rages.
Past enlightens tomorrow.
Deliverance from future sorrow.
Sufficient is today.
Leading to acceptance of what may.
