THROUGH THE SANDS OF TIME (New Poem)


THROUGH THE SANDS OF TIME
Through the sands of time
Where we can be restricted with our lives
We sail through time not knowing where we are
Not knowing where it has gone
The sands can sink beneath us
Drowning, drowning us completely
The sands of time has us captured
The sand of time has us imprisoned
Bogged down, bogging us down
Where our sails can no long sail
Sail in the fair winds
Stuck in one direction going no where
Nowhere to be free
Time and motion stuck
Stuck in a rut
Beached like a war ship
A war ship of the past
So, so here in the present
Presenting our fears, with no tears
What can we do?
Is there anything that we can do?
To release all the pent up troubles
That rolls; roll on the rocky rocks and seas
Can we release the shackles that chain us?
And take control of our emotions
Take control of that helm
And steer ourselves out of the murky waters
Into calmer seas, into where we were before
Can we steer ourselves from the rocky shores?
Life steers us in different directions
But are they the right ones?
The true ones!
Can you hear the inner voice?
Calling you to come home
To your true self
True selves
I can hear it calling you to come closer
To stop drowning, drowning
So let’s sail away and leave our troubles behind
