Now and Then
NOW AND THEN
Tell me how you know it's now
by lines across an old man's brow?
Before it came, it’s come and went.
A wispy trail, a non- event.
Found within or found without
It always seems there is no doubt
Reality is limited to our years,
Our hopes, our dreams and all our fears
But did they ever re-exist,
or were they just a timeless shift
in human thoughts, to never know
except when death redeems the blow?
Then perhaps answers shall appear
within the light it to make it clear
that now and then, when understood
becomes no more holes in balsa wood.
