In-Transit Here
Swiftly the years swing away fast,
Memory steers both first and last;
Swiftly the sad dissolves in mists,
Memory bad rescinds old lists.
Quickly sad times forlorn and old,
Memory chimes to forfeit cold;
Quickly bad things dilute with age,
Memory flings thoughts that outrage.
Promptly pains told die not easy,
Memory cold now speaks oddly;
Promptly freak spawns drift out and die,
Memory pawns away harsh sighs.
Clearly new good spring from old bad,
Memory moods happy from sad;
Clearly new highs weed out old lows,
Memory sighs with busy glow.
Wisely new fads edge vain pains,
Memory adds to present gains;
Wisely soul knows choice that sets free,
Memory grows ever surely.
Truly the past is but a swing,
Memory lasts yet ever flings;
Truly the now is present here,
Memory vows a poise set clear.
Timely each soul comes down to earth,
Memory holds from death to birth;
Timely the span from hearth to hearth,
Memory scans cycles on earth.
Calmly soul knows beyond mere trends,
Memory grows the scheme and plan;
Calmly heart fits wise feel and zest,
Memory bits charm journey's quest.
