Hourglass Passage Exploding in My Veins
What was once the dark hours of my being
I had these thoughts
Without words to go with them
My mind deepened
Into cylindrical vases
Colorless dye
There I could mourn like old messages
To a friend who no longer knows my essence
Nor measures up
to keep it holy
Not knowing what to do with all the
moments
I've missed them
Reacting to what was
Least imperative
In virtue or in fate
Future moments unwind in my mind
Like clockwork moving
In clockwork speed
Spinning time
Fortune cries
Just to get rid of it all
To please the psyche of my soul
When words aren’t enough
I am felt
Wholly
When the knowing comes to know
That haunts the darkness of those years
ago
As it creeps up
onto shoulders
Landing on its victory
Opening up
to new living
Immense and soothing
Breathes in timeless pools of
emptiness
Creation peaks
and so I am.
