Timeless

 

Timeless

When I’m tangled in threads of struggle,
when I ask and silence answers,
I remember, pearls are born
in the quiet shelter of a shell.

I lean back, and time dissolves to vapour;
my mind becomes a silver river
coursing gently through my being,
glinting like rain in golden light.

I dive into this well of wonder,
sink deep into the cosmic sea,
drawn by the pulse of stars
through the vastness cradling all.

I rise again, wave-tipped and breathless,
a glimmer of the timeless held in hand.
Does wisdom dwell in these waters?
I gather truth like frosted jewels
from whirlpools spun with mermaid tears.
