Sacred Contracts VI:  Time

 
 
"Time flies.  Suns rise and shadows fall.  
Let time go by.  Love is forever over all."  
 
The gnomon mountains fossilize markers  
during absence. The valley plate and hour-  
lined nodus of a solstice birth and death  
are a mere equinox of time and space.  
 
Patience teaches the declination of shadow  
across the curve of light. Acceptance crowns  
prodigal returns with peace from slow decay;  
if not this lifetime, then one along the way.  
 
"The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which  
the first was made. […] See all, nor be afraid."
