Joy Arises

as i am fixated
on the clock
the years
pass by
tick tock

try as I may to stop
the tears
drip drop

they fall still
drowning out his grace
but i'm deciding to instead
embrace

the fear
the sadness
the anger
and invite them to tea
cause we have no time
to be
enemies

tick tock
the years pass by
with or without enlightenment
drip drop
so scared the sky
is falling
when it really is just rain

change
is the only constant

so its time
to align
all words thoughts and actions
its time
to remove all disguises
forgive the infractions
of the past
and know that the present
is where real joy arises

from the ash
of our lesser selves

You should start writing again. It not only heals you. It heals others.
