Ad Infinitum
If only you could sort through
All the ideas in your head,
You tell yourself,
You would figure it all out
And arrive at the grand conclusion,
The answer,
The answer to all those relentless questions.
Yet every idea you explore
Gives birth to a myriad more.
Dandelion seeds in the wind.

Something Eternal
I can easily see the second hand move
But no matter how long I stare
The minute hand seems stationary,
The hour hand frozen.
In the mirror
I am the same as yesterday,
Yet the photograph is surprising.
How quickly I have aged.
Yes, I see wind-blown clouds changing shapes,
Time-lapsed flowers unfolding,
Water that comes to a boil,
Still,
There is something eternal inside,
Surprised at the passing of time.

Saved
Go ahead and pray,
Pray for things both selfish and unselfish.
If you are blessed,
Many of the things you pray for will not come.
In this way shall you be saved.
