Time Flows Like A River

 It flows from the past into the present,  
Like a stream originating at a mountain top    
Flows down into the valley.  
   
Time flows from the present into the foreseeable future,    
Like a tributary flowing into a wide river.      
   
Finally, at the time of death  
time pours out into boundless Eternity,    
like a river emptying into the ocean.  
 
Like a river no longer hemmed in by its banks,    
Time is unbridled at last,  
Free to mingle with the flows    
of countless other rivers (lifetimes),    
......    
Time began with the Big Bang,    
So that becomes the metaphorical snow-capped mountain peak.    
Likewise, at the other end of the timeline,  
the river of time flowing into the ocean of Eternity,    
Turns out to be our souls entering into    
Heaven's vastness, a whole new world/dimension.
   
But each cosmic macrocosm is mimicked by its diminutive microcosm,    
For example, the relationship of God and the Universe    
Is reflected in each pregnant woman (who carries her offspring to term).    
   
But just what every day event captures the essence of,    
What common action serves as a microcosm for,    
The flowing of time into Eternity?    
   
Well, if the Big Bang is the mountain from which issues the river    
That passes thru the valley and empties into the ocean/canyon,    
Then it's easy to discover just which ordinary human activity is the microcosm.    
   
The risen penis produces the flow of seed that enters the sexual valley,    
The seed traverses the length of the vaginal tract.    
Getting past the narrow cervix,  
it enters into the vastness of the uterus.    
   
Yes, the story of time running into, merging with, Eternity is    
Dramatized/miniaturized by man and woman uniting in sexual intercourse.
