It Is Time... Poem by Raj Arumugam

It Is Time...



It is that time
when one goes
when one remains silent, collected
sheds all that was before,
sees the futility of resistance
the meaninglessness of volition

It is not forced; it is come -
this understanding
and one walks in the peace of the gardens
unspeaking companions about
not a will

It is done, it is come with no struggle;
the coming is of its own, none of the person

It Is Time...
