Give the barest trickle
Ample time to act
And it can build
Mountains
Ample time to act
And it can build
Mountains
I discover
What I could never
Imagine
No, the words are there
They are always there
But I cannot hear them
Cannot see them
And so the world seems grey
Sounds like white noise
The guileless hum
Of a refrigerator
Tree leaves sway
On subtle
Breeze
Quiet reigns
On mindful
Day
I feel it
Creeping up
From behind
Feel it
Entering me
Affecting me
But in the mirror
The effects of time
Are too subtle
Too slow
In the way we move
On the dance floor
In the way we act
In times of tragedy
In the things we build
As monuments to significance
I try to remind myself of this
In the low moments
When I feel anything but grace
Anything but graceful
