Living Is the Blessing Allowed In Time

Living is the blessing allowed in time.

Time passes so quickly
	while our long strained goals
	come so unbelievably slow.

Time seems non-existent, so why
	do we contemplate the moments and hours
	as though they were years draining our lives?

The tide of minutes and seconds
	draw us constantly into the foamy waves
	of our past and present endeavors.

Buffeted continually with careless efforts and striving
	because the soul believes
        the heart hopes
	and the mind knows well –

Living is 
        the only blessing allowed in time.
