If all there is---is

If all there is …is now And time but an illusion Wondering where it went Causes me confusion If there’s been no then Is it all Zen And the end is Where it will begin Is every sunrise The same one Or even worse There wasn’t one If time is but a spectral dot A web in which the moment’s caught An endless mug of Guinness stout Time gone an a “walk-a-bout” Perhaps I should constrain my pen Forget the world of now and then And have a mindful Zen-like chat With the characters of this and that
