Sands of Time

Just thoughts within intellectual lines

As we are born

So shall we die

Plans made in advance to soar to the Heavenly sky

Do you ever question why you’re here

An earthy existence with a limited amount of good cheer

 

Scared to live

Afraid to die

Once we get sick… silent prayers, numerous whys

Lived a good life

Unite as the Bible says, man and wife

Kids if you choose

That beautiful policy in life, surely you can’t lose

 

The doctrine of Heavenly laws

So, misconstrued

The good must wait for their pie in the sky

The wicked having a great time down here, does not even bat a guilty eye

Heaven hath no fury like a sinful scorn

Baptism to get peace out of life, dipped in water to be reborn

 

What if this is our Heaven on Earth

No spiritual rebirth

Once you close your eyes as the sands of time has expired

No more breaths of Earth required

Therefore, faith duties to you must now let

What you see here is all you will ever get

Darkness and silence are the only realm your soul has met

 

No crown of glory settled on your head

In life your emotions have daily bled

Times you’re wasted just to live

Charity from your hard work, you humbly give

Hoping for forgiveness of sins

Oh, I lied one time…not killed anyone, so will I still get in

 

It seems that the good always suffers

The meek continues to Earthly smother

The wicked moves right along

These are words, not my creed, but it is a pondering song

Being a critical care trauma nurse, I have so many questions I get asked

Sometimes, as I bow my head, I question my daily spiritual fast

 

Is it all worth it

To take life’s agony hits

Turn the other cheek, survive all society’s stinging licks

It’s not what one would call total bliss

Then you wait for a crown of glory from living legit

Die and then find out, it was all lies, just bullshi$ 


 Excuse my tongue

Bringing it to you straight, as my mind tends to mentally run

Yes, I believe in the Holy Trinity

However, many still have questions about divinity

 

I advised you I’m locked out

Therefore, I have inquiries I must yell and shout about

I pray daily, maybe God will lend me His ear and listen, to a certain degree

As these thoughts escape a timeless soul begging for the universal to drop to their knees

Gift of words given at an early age

School plays, theater in college, words delivered with confidence on stage

Never once passed up the church offering plate

My palms head to the sky, yet, I am still questioning society’s fate

 

Generation of healing hands

For woman and man

Is it not enough, I ask

Soul goes on, nevertheless, the body on Earth will never outlast

Hoping for redemption for a sinful past

 

My hands bridged, I will silently pray

Until I hear the words, well done, my knees I shall stay

 Answers given as I finally wobble to stand

Mind, Body, Soul, and Spirit in sequence to conquer the mental lands

From my Queen’s crown to you and yours

Love given in all its entities from the stars, the moon, the Heavens above, casting down to civilization’s shores
