There’s time now
To listen to the birds
To discern their words
As the echoes bounce
Off the walls of my house.
There is
time
now.
There’s time now
to be part
Of this whirlwind
Of a world
As it spins
There is
time
now.
There’s time now
To confess
What’s been in your heart,
What’s been tearing you apart,
For anger to dissolve
For the past to absolve
For,
there is
time
now.
There’s time now
To let go
Of all worry
Or woe
And witness the show
You’re starring in –
Let it begin!
As you begin to glow
You can see,
The way the wind dances
With flowing branches
You can see,
The dew atop petals,
The way the finch mettles,
The squirrel coveting
an acorn in his paws –
His busy heart
Taking pause
As he remembers,
There is
time now.
There’s time now
To forgive
And let live
To hold loved ones close
Before the curtain close
To laugh so hard your cheeks ache
To give it a fucking break
Because for heaven’s sake
There is
time
now.
