In Time - A Poem by Moe

"the wound is where the light shines through..."

in time obtain my better sails

as love of sea mist still prevails

to stir what's left inside the more

for greater gifts beyond the door

in time cannot be kept at bay

nor wished away by what we say

instead we hold as it is held

to make our way as storm is quelled

for all endure the pains of growth

from sky to land but often both

to pave the roads for better rhyme

I burn and bruise and heal...in time

~Moses

Revolutions Within Our Evolutions...

Imagine the man that walked the streets skilled with a pipe wrench.  For years, he found work everywhere he was needed.  He knew and understood that this pipe wrench was the vehicle behind his purpose.  That is, until he lost it.  Losing that pipe wrench potentially meant losing his one purpose in life and so grief struck.  Confusion hit to toss him to and fro.  For days, he wrestled with his own mind as to what to do now.

As he walked the streets aimlessly looking for his respite, he was summoned by someone that needed his services.  Too afraid to say he could no longer help, he went anyway with hopes in finding some other way to fix their issue.  To his surprise, he found that in fact he didn't need the pipe wrench anymore as he came to understand that what drove his purpose was not anything that he held in his hand. What drove his purpose was inside him waiting to be discovered independant from all things external and he developed new ways to fix what needed fixing without his blessed pipe wrench.

Years later he found it again.  He didn't despise it or hate that it had become to centerpiece of his worth but he gladly used it alongside his newfound potentiate...God's gifts by grace given unto men...

My people, I am quite alright.  With all that I "apparently" lose...I gain something new right alongside it.  That all I lose would not be lost but instead placed where it will serve toward the betterment of all.  I know who and what I am as that will never change but all that is added to me renders me a heavier beast to tow...and I'm ok with that.  Such is life and for those who know it, grief will never overtake their soul..much love...
