Time hides inside the mind
Making the feet look for it
In places they have long left
The landscape has changed
And erased the landmarks
That marked our growing up
The house we cannot rent out
For fear of losing it to tenants
Who are too possessive to leave
Remains locked with all its
Furniture and memories inside
From the wall hanging gifted
By a friend called to heaven early
God exhorts us to only be still
And leave the battle to him,
From time to time whenever
We can, we return and relive
The years we cannot relive,
Sit staring at the hill looming
In the distance and still carrying
Footprints of sky-clad renunciates ----
Our coming and going count for little
As the time that counts keeps chipping away.
