Moments pass on into hours
hours become a day . . .
through the hourglass of time
life happens just that way ~

Weeks to months all knitting
a tapestry that shows . . .
the things that are important
to us, oh yes, The Spirit knows ~

Spirit Speaks ~ 'Time's passing
spend time with me awhile . . .
forsake your empty wanderings
let none your heart beguile ~

Suddenly you notice now
a loose thread here and there . . .
Spirit gently whispers,
'Spend some time in prayer' ~

Before you realize it has
years and years go by . . .
somehow your heart feels empty
you yearn to know just why ~

Spirit whispers ~ 'Spend with me
those years that now remain' . . .
'Do not go your way alone
in fruitlessness and pain' ~

At last you stop to listen
and bow to The Divine . . .
feel the warmth of His embrace
too Holy to define ~

Two figures now instead of one
in your Tapestry appear . . .
golden threads bespeak your joy
and Spirit speaks ~ 'I'm here' !
