The clock does not command the soul
It ticks but never names the goal
Each breath’s a gate each glance a rhyme
Eternity disguised as time
We count our days to feel secure
And miss the now we could endure
The present hums a living chime
A pulse beyond the reach of time
The past is ink the future mist
But now’s the gift the saints have kissed
To live is not to chase or race
But walk in rhythm with your grace
Guard time with peace not will or fear
The heart knows how to draw it near
The keeper’s art is not control
But resting in the endless whole
