You think of Time
As the continuum of your own reality
The ebb and flow of history
As it weaves around the fabric of your Life
But this Time
Your Time
- is but one Time amongst many
Just another wave
Amongst each successive wave
Beating against the beach of Existence
And you think of Time
As the ticking of your own clock
The coming and going of your days
The sunrises and sunsets of your Life
But this Time
Your Time
- is but one Time amongst many
And when your time is done
Time will still be here
Like the waves of an endless ocean
Beating against the shores of Being
At the sunset of God's great Creation.
(inspired by Kat Rahmat and Michel Serres)
