Listening, Looking and Seeing

Listening, Looking and Seeing.

Like an old clock, ticking, ticking, ticking wilfully

and faltering not in determination.  Can’t stop, won’t

stop, can’t stop, won’t stop.  Ticking never to forget

the edge of time. Ticking a trapping remembrance,

the past. Presenting the present and sounding the future. 

Ticking tirelessly, continually, effortlessly and in all

manner ticking. Ticking, passing thru sleep as the silent

night sweeps to awake the dream.  Ticking to sculpt

the spirit. Time.  Hearing time saturates all desires,

to rush, to fall, to repent, to love, to forgive, to tend and

shape a vision, to listen and prepare to walk that gentle

walk so timelessly with All.  Looking up to see the face

that looks down without judgement.  A time to see.

In such a sight, the past is held within the ticking face

and to see the present is time to trust the future.  Hands

that hold All time. Looking up, looking down, looking all

around, ah, a time for All to be seen.
