more and more, of time

speak, no more, so that we might
hear, all, in which time, replaces
in our time, again, as time passes
through skies of gold, to fields so fast
grazing upon the thicket, of grass and wheat
upon the heaven, of time, mentioned time
where all but riddles exist, to reap weakness
from soul, upon the best of all
whose lives do pass, through, time
shackled time once again
all in worlds so still, the body of Earth
challenges us not, but finds shadow
in heart, of all, in all who would
surrender, to time, passing time
before this time, comes again
 
in all would be, such as time in me
a way to believe and dream once again
there in belief, we believe all the more
to cast such doubt, to relive the cause
of eyes, and eyes, in eyes do we see
such as time, is lost, for no sight complete
as would the time beat again
amid wide beating drums, the sound
as deep as it is shallow, sleeping in hollow's reed
so closer to the edge, as edge upon edge
comes, comes thick upon the body
whose morning cannot move, quickly enough
to retrieve, that in which time has stolen again
in the memory, teeming memory beneath the eyes
of heart, sacred heart, of love not to question
of question not to doubt, but in love, always love
do we feel, as all weight across the feather
of down, floating, in the twirl of the sky
our eyes do deceive, simple as time does not move
when in sadness so in heart, does your body remain
and is slowly torn apart
 
where in question shall i find, the voice only to hear
the moment of time breathing time, as frost upon
the window is etched, so is time on my heart
where my heart, the heart of witness, does in time
move no more from a moment, and no greater through a day
than would a spindle from the heavens, spin
down, in a web of forgiveness, in a shower full of love
where in time does this answer beckon?
where in time does the reason mean more than truth?
find not are the ways of time, believing is more
more than a truth, is more than in my soul
but beyond all of life, i know that time does not shadow
beside the hearth, in kindle more than fire, these embers of heart do reckon
more than reason, and guide more than truth
belief is the witness, and knowing is the life, i must find
in riddles no more than reasons, in evidence before my thoughts
is it all, is it all in time, what time cannot reveal
