Inside the Moment

Keeping it new,
beginning again
clearing my eyes,
avoiding the din

Keeping it new,
the present untold
the past but a weight,
the future on hold

Keeping it new,
returning at last
to what never leaves,
and never contrasts

Keeping it new,
tomorrow on loan
yesterday pawned
—eternity owned
