It's Time

many days and years have passed
many moons and sun phases have gone by
largely unknown to this blinking eye
world keeps changing to the beat of its own drum

knowing how spiders can make their web
experiencing breeze, holding a big embrace
sitting quiet with a feeling of a happy face
wanting to speak nothing amid the world's maze

we cannot know the end of the line
we cannot comprehend the beyond
we cannot imagine that which can be
we can only be wise enough to see

that our senses are tiny
that our minds are corrupt
that our hearts have shut down
that our hands have closed up

that we feel a bit frightened
that we want to protect
that all we really desire
is truth and a steady hand 

and when it appears
it is wise that we reach
for the help being offered
without fight or a kick

because many days and years
have already gone by
because many moons and phases
have passed before our eyes
because we don't have a forever
to wait in dark night
because it's time we decided
we are ready to shine
