Time, you are not the master of good
One alone holds the world in Her embrace
and She is timeless
eternally now
infinite good

Time, you are not a healer
One alone holds the divine idea intact
and reveals it in the healing present
not someday
this day

Time, you are not a destroyer
One alone is perfect Life illumined in life
your passage holds no power to diminish
Spirit reflecting itself
in the spiritual 

Time, the infinite One did not create you
places no stock in you 
has no fear of you 
because you never were
you have no power to cause a beginning 
no permission to declare an end 

And I, the beloved of the infinite 
stand in the allness 
of God’s sovereign presence
beholden to none 
but the timeless One 
now and ever.
