Hymn Of Hope

In the amputation of each minute,

TIME – 

the carrier of everything,

gently releases its holy hush,

a hymn of hope to some

who listen over and over

to the sweet outrage

of its passing that is

abjectly rendered within

its philosophical mood.

As it shapes our world

it offers each of us

an inspiriting invitation

to openly engage ourselves
amidst its vivid colours
and amongst the pulse
of its perpetual movement.

The fire of its measure

is planted within –

consistent its flow

as it circles in simple

incremental rhythms.
