A spirit exploring
Taught by the past
Choosing the moment
All that will last

The days grow dark
Time reveals its flow
In everlasting light
Life cannot grow

Matters of the heart
Grow stronger each day
Every step is worth counting
Nothing stirred by delay

With patience it comes
In the palm of your hand
If you do not chase it
Nor rewards demand

Open your view
Mind, soul and heart
Meet your true self
A fundamental art

To see past your own
Love, live and laugh
Seek understanding
Then do the math

I am now and I am
To life I am bound
A natural being
Lost, then again found

Moment after moment
Adding up to time
Always in motion
And time for a rhyme

Life is about choice
What perspectives to see
Yours and of others
Will not always agree

Then whatever is left
If not a right way?
To follow like rules
A lord to obey

Connect with the heart
Follow its dreams
Meet people and life
Unfolding the seams

Whatever is said
Of a wounded past
Time will help
The pain won't last

 Open your heart
Unveil in light
Your broken parts
Hidden from sight

A difficult task
Mountains to climb
Pursue life and love
Heal your mind

Time will pass
Rivers will flow
Winds will blow
With love and care
Life will grow

Moment of certainty
Appear in its grace
In flattering feathers
It all seems in place

Then away it flies
High up in the sky
Deserted and lonely
I fall down and cry

Crossroads before me
A choice to be made
I beg for an answer
To lighten the shade

Small steps forward
In time it will show
No matter the outcome
You constantly grow
