The Hourglass

"So you run and you run to try to catch up with the sun, but its sinking,

Racing around to come up behind you again.

The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older;

Shorter of breath, one day closer to death."

Time, Pink Floyd - the Dark Side of the Moon

In the deepest level of  being, a yearning is felt for  the real, the true.

In the highest sky of  inner consciousness, shines radiant  a divine star.

Your true nature sings of infinite bliss and unending peace; can you hear its song?

Will you finally claim your inheritance, O child of man, and know who you truly are?

This hidden treasure lies in your Heart-centre, your very soul.

You cannot measure it with the senses  or know it with the mind.

Seek the source of your own existence in the depths of being;

When the seeker dissolves in that silence, the sought is defined.

Life falls like sand in an hourglass, disappears like rain in the desert of Time.

A trillion worlds dissolve in a cosmic sea.

Are you a brief butterfly wave that rises and falls- or are you the infinite Ocean?

Ponder this, my friend : which would you rather be?
