Here Now
Here/Now
what is here is of now
and shall be no more
what came was right for its time
and shall not return
nothing shall return save memory
to catch fleeting moments in fantasy
what you hold is
held by you in its time
what is said flies into the
cyclical current of shifting winds
what begins in innocence
ends in ignorance and delusion
the world belongs to those who know
the vagaries of time and chance
the world is denied those
who wait for their moment
night belongs to those who know
the continuity of silence
in tranquility and peace
