Timelessness

Tear up the calendars,
Tear down the clocks;

For the evil that they do
is written in the faces
Torn to shreds by the hands of time
In a frenzy of the  workaholic’s pantomime.

Tear up the calendars,
Tear down the clocks.

Slow down the days,
Speed up the lives.
Boot out deadlines;
Bring in lifelines,
Then sigh at the oxymoron
That is “quality time”.

Time is the passing of the world
Through the failing of its people;
Where time is the graceless warp of community
In the weft of society.

Tear up the calendars,
Tear down the clocks.

Grace is timeless.

So tear up the calendars
And tear down the clocks -
The revolution of grace is begun.
