This Is What Time Present Looks Like

THIS IS WHAT TIME PRESENT LOOKS LIKE Time past is laid to rest with Gradual forgetting of Inconsequential things, Once considered of great import. The present breathes into life All scattered shoots of Hopefulness to form them Into summer's bouquets And post as wreaths on strong doorways, Marking a new dwelling-place For the coming of the year's wedding feast. No harm comes to the household As the banquet is prepared, The guests from every part, invited To partake of its rich bounty. There is dancing and singing, Where the music becomes Improvisation, suddenly created From a rich source of memories and beyond. A revealing light, shone over The gathering, shows up Its diverse beauty, dressed In robes of many colours. This is what time present looks like, Unlocked from past and future, Interwoven with the now In order to enter into The pleasurable space of eternity.
