veins of time

as i course through the veins of time

pointing and flowing to tapered end

and infinite prongs and spikes

of suffering heat and selfish gain

the torment of tortured souls

seeks satisfaction

from noise incessant and dull ache

that grows in cancerous mass

robbing freedom flowing

for a life laid down

feeding absolution

to the mouths of want

as i course through the veins of time

forgiveness flows in Goodwill’s grace

healing smarts and stings

of cruel spikes

in His life laid down

where forgiveness flows through

infinite prongs and spikes

of baked suffering

bringing ease and calm repose

- - - mending minds

O’ Divine Celestial Peace

let love and forgiveness flow

from the Wellspring of life

as it retunes to Source End.
