hands of time

---

the hands of time are passing by

as the sun graces us with its radiant rays

while creation sings the arrival of spring once more

i await the beauty of life anew

the hands of time are passing by

as green grass grows abundantly

while the heat of summer entangles our bodies

i find relief in the shadows of nightfall

the hands of time are passing by

as the technicolor leaves transform the vista

while autumn releases its odors of plenty

i seek comfort within the four walls of home

the hands of time are passing by

as death marches past the glory of months long ago

while the barren winter persuades us to refuge in layers

i drink in the coldness that settles in my chest

the hands of time are passing by

as each season melts into the next

while moments blend into days and days into weeks

i rest in the counsel of truth and wisdom

the hands of time are passing by

as life comes to a close within me

while preparations of heaven capture my imagination

i ready myself to dance in the presence of the One True King
