Time and Reality
Time and Reality
To snatch the worlds of what you once were
Cannot be held in the palm of your hand
Friends dead and gone, you’ll wish to reconnect
They’ll not--the past gone--the loss of that land.
What were you then, and what are you now,
What do you chase, when you are low?
This world hurts, for you do not grow
You must, if you can, lose the foe.
The "foe" agin’ reality that will help to go
To growth, and renewal, though you throw
The roots, the stems, of what you would know.
Who are you, my friend, my self, to know?
We try, we always attempt to know us
Difficult to work without the show-us
But try hard to solve the mystery
Of meditation that would make one’s history.
The priests of knowledge will always tell
Go history, go, to study your knell
You must, in order to move that bell
Order, structure and practice will prove
Time, now, to get in the groove.
Love, Love, and meeting each other
Brings riches and life one to another
We all need that fabulous grace
As we meet each other face to face.
Extend, extend, your time together
Enjoy, work hard, no matter the weather
Time flees quickly, as you will see
Fritter it not, or you may not be
Given Life on the Proverbial Tree.
