Here/Now

Here/Now

what is here is of now
and shall be no more

what came was right for its time
and shall not return

nothing shall return save memory
to catch fleeting moments in fantasy

what you hold is
held by you in its time

what is said flies into the
cyclical current of shifting winds

what begins in innocence
ends in ignorance and delusion

the world belongs to those who know
the vagaries of time and chance

the world is denied those
who wait for their moment

night belongs to those who know
the continuity of silence
in tranquility and peace
