moments ticking

time is
all the moments
ticking, clicking whirling

                  
                   the rhythm 
               and  the  beat 
                 infinite 
                    endless
                 
              the pulse of life
            in each breath taken
         in each    heartbeat
             in the pulse of my soul
                 and  spirit 
                   always

so, I will
              p
              r
              a
              y 
      for sweet 
 tranquility
                  
                 in 
                each
             moment 
               left to me

                 for a
             life of  
            serenity 
             and peace

               if I can be 
a warrior brave
               and strong
I can conquer all

               for inside me 
there is a fire
              and I know
I can climb
               mountains 
if I have to


                         ugly words
                   wash
       over me
like a waterfall

I will only listen 
         to the throb 
                      of this life 
                                 to the end

                  until I repose in quietus
