PRISONER OF TIME 1 © 2007
I only admire the correct actions,
Those that arise from integrity,
Where truth walks without haste,
And respect is the only reality.
The others do not surprise me,
They do not evoke admiration,
For I know that in the game of life,
Not everything is worthy of celebration.
What is right stands out,
Shining on its own, without needing a stage,
And it is in these actions that I find
The essence of what is worthwhile.
The rest, I let pass,
Without clinging, without being impressed,
For it is in the righteousness of gestures
That I find the value that sustains me.
I only admire the correct actions,
Those that reflect the best of us,
The others simply exist,
But do not echo, do not give voice.
