Time Slips Away

first facial muscles...relax...let go
tension, thinking and their slow
day by day and year by year
expressions carved by every tear...
then neck and shoulders, arms and hands
relax...let flow like hourglass sands
torso, hips, legs, feet as well
relaxation's rolling swell
lifts us into ocean mind
in heart and soul it's where we find
a gentle rhythm warm and pure
mesmerized we can endure
fate... our karma comes and goes
how we feel it never knows
when we let go, relax and breathe
troubles vanish sorrows leave
day by day and year by year
time slips away and too our fear
our hesitation to let go
of everything we think we know...
relaxation's rolling swell
lifts us up from where we fell
tension, thinking fade away
when we relax right here today -
first facial muscles we let go
then all the rest in calm and slow
gentle rhythms warm and pure
mesmerize so we endure
fate...our karma as it flows
and melts like springtime's falling snows
day by day and year by year
time slips away and too our fear -
