Notes About The Poem

Time is a most mysterious thing. Although it is divided into past, present and future, is it really divided at all?

All In Good Time

One hundred years ago
				       is the blink of an eye,
				       one hundred years ahead
				       is a mountain to climb.

				Life holds on to the coat-tails of days
				through the changes that are time,
			        fast like Radagast's sled with Rhosgobel Rabbits,
			        at the speed of light from onset to outcome
		   	        where today can be tomorrow or yesterday
				and everything passes.

				      One hundred years ahead
				      is the blink of an eye,
				      one hundred years ago
                                      is a mountain climbed.
