Endings as Beginnings
I no longer struggle to gather my severed being
Into the person I thought I was,
For even though existence may be slow,
Discovery has proven all is an enormous singleness,
All life is a purposeful whole.
And…
Like the shifting sands of an hourglass,
There comes the time to turn it over,
To grant renewal.
I shall keep close attention
As the sand of Time is skittish.
The present will go.
But even as sands often blow wild,
I will find purchase with the now
As I watch beyond the hourglass
All the people rushing in impulsive self-importance
Daring the dunes of quicksand threat,
Accepting not the epiphanic truth,
The oneness of it all,
Where risk is but a test of honesty.
The separateness they cling to is as if
They are an hourglass of interminable self-absorption
That fears accepting endings,
Knowing not that conclusions
Allow new beginnings,
Beget renewals,
Accommodate Life’s continuum.
