Time is of the essence

 

 

When asked, what is time?

The great sage replied.

 

“Time is of the essence.”

 

The essence of your love,

Of your compassion,

Of your life.

 

And when your life marries fully with time,

you will live in a forever now.

Then you will only be ‘the essence.’

Then you will know time is, made of’ the essence.’
