Pondering existence and the powerful mind,

we cannot falter the  sands of time.

One by one each grain continues to fall

a persistent heartbeat that has no qualms.

Furiously trying to break the glass,

our anger turns on us and shatters our hands.

Pawns in a game of chess played by God,

based on strategy not heart, this is how we move along.

Our conscience within us is the determining role

of how our lives eventually unfold.

Wandering aimlessly amongst each other;

lives intertwine, lost strangers to lovers.

Navigating the game of life is no walk in the park,

it’s baggage is strife, that leaves its fate filled  mark.

Flames of passion rise, and great heroes fall

friendships are rekindled, and grudges take their haul.

Remove the mask that hides your soul,

Negate the fear that consumes you.

Live life as your own and never forget the Truth.
