FIVE MINUTES IN ETERNITY

Time is a palmed gurgle of water from the ocean
That slithers through your fingers back to eternity - its home
Time is a myth, an unfettered notion
That you measure in joys and sorrows your own
Faith is the sun that unhurriedly warms every shore
Faith is the lunar light that equals all
Our Faith brought us together long before
Our different Gods divided our religious call
To find that Faith-touched peace that we seek
With unspoken hope and undying dreams - in unity
Time indulges us a New Year - so to speak
A year that is, but five minutes in eternity
Five minutes for your summer, five minutes for your spring
Five minutes for your winter and for your fall
Into these five minutes, will you not bring
Your faith, your hope, your courage - your all?
