There and Then and When

Where are you going?
Have you come from somewhere?
Are you in the Here and Now?
	
		                              Three simple requests
		                              antecedent of Nirvana
		                              floating seamlessly
	
The darkness of nowhere sheds
its ancient light thundering conducting
on the background stage

		        Steady rainbows coalesce
		        where Source seems destiny
		        and dew drops rise above

High in the humble clouds
roots reflect condensation
of transcendent steady swirl

	  Tim marvels at the hourglass
	  descending from receding void
          as moments pass and reassemble

Time calls for action but the deeds are
done as memories find soothing homes
in awareness of forthcoming anticipation

                                   as he accepts that vivid life holds
                                   fewer answers and the stony path
                                   of wisdom is child’s play at its best
