It’s Time

This is the time

to learn to stand,

to let the lies

blow away like sand.

In the end they can’t bury

what is solid, what is true,

in the end they can’t destroy

the real you

There may be dunes,

there may be drifts —

you’ve seen how often

the scene shifts.

But what you are is stronger

than sand, than wind, than time,

and what you are will triumph

and what you are will shine

There has never been a limit to your being

and there’s never been a limit to your worth,

and there’s never been a failure of your goodness,

never been a weakness in your truth

This is the time

to learn to stand still,

time to surrender

your anxious will,

time to let the winds of time reveal

who you have always been.

It’s time to heal.
