If only
I could possess a remote control
to flip through happenstances
as if
my thoughts could direct
the tides retrospectively
What if
I could govern the sands of time
churning for whimsicals
I wonder
if I would be perfidious
to my own being
only to
stifle these moments that count in
grace – every breathing second
ordained to
wait for the pages to unfold
themselves
and reveal me in the passing lights
of time
"wait for the pages to unfold themselves and reveal me in the passing lights of time." I resonate very strongly with that live for that is - exactly - what time does. Well said, Akila!
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for that remote control as well ~ Good one Akila ~
ReplyDeletea remote would be interesting, but I can see how it may lead to perfidious actions.
ReplyDeletepages unfolding themselves have a beauty of their own...nice thoughts here Akila...
ReplyDeleteMany interesting things we could do with that remote. Would we be wise though?
ReplyDeleteWould be great to find that remote
ReplyDeleteWe do want to control, don't we. Love the idea of pausing on whimsy, but given our history, I hate to think what we could do to mess things up.
ReplyDeleteevery one will love to have that remote control..beautiful write Akila:)
ReplyDeleteit would be dangerous i think.. probably good that we don't have control of time
ReplyDeletegovern the sands of time? It is a scary thought to me… but at times I guess we would be tempted if we could!
