Beyond the simple counting –
what is desired, what is required –
beyond the march of days,
a quiet call that can’t be masked by anything
wells up within

This is more than the touted reward
for getting all the slots aligned,
this is not something
that comes to you by chance –
what looks like scattered glimmers
is in fact the indication
of a brilliance overwhelming all the tokens

Release manipulations
and line yourself up with this –
the power to power your unspoken hope –
beyond the march of days,
this timeless truth
speaks the infinitude
of what you are.
