As Time Just Slips Away

Poetry about life

Sometimes when we gaze up at the sky, it can seem like moments of our life are disappearing in the wind, and time just slips away like dreams dissolving into daylight.

And we know there’s really nothing to hang on to in this human life, there’s just an endless stream of change like rainwater sliding down a window.

But as morning cloud glides across the sky, something constant and unchanging can sometimes be revealed, inside the endless change of the everyday, and all of life becomes a journey filled with meaning.

Life’s the unseen and universal revealing itself to us as the shape of leaves and the sound of birdsong, and when we hear the conscious silence inside us, and weave ourselves into the presence of this timeless consciousness, we become woven into each other and our Universe.

And our life becomes a place where there’s hope and the light of inspiration in dark times, and somewhere to call home when the ground shifts beneath our feet.
