Waiting on the season to turn.
Crossing the door.
Opened walking in holding
Giving the stand balance
Waiting on the other side.
Along side myself, I'm the first
Also the Second in line.
Self became each other.
A person I am
Another came along
Other then I
There is also Groups
I'll tell you about all of them
Communities all over
Raw it begins to build.
Taking time to a way of understanding, it's happen with happening.
Going back around to repeat
Across ways time told itself
One becomes the other
Each crossing is a Heart Knowing
Trust is Faith Becoming understanding, these ones that talk as time they give very little the heart gives more
in making the turn.
Turning around Again
Being Asked to Reach Creation is Energy.
Time
Money
Having both now
Bringing a feeling of abundance it's here.
Always letting go.
Today is all the time one needs.
It's just Time
time is silence, when time see's time become understanding it talks louder hearing it I do.
Turning it up
The silent sound of balance,
knowing it when it sounds.
Giving time a place to sound
It hears another, seen another I did
Time Knows
Them self became them.
Thanking time that was given thank you.
Self is still at the gate of
Heaven
Here I'll wait
Today knows the day
