When time is all NOW.

the length of time that 

dwells in our souls - 

no yesterdays, and 

no tomorrows; 

just the endless NOW 

stretching on forever, 

a succession of immediacy - 

trauma.  pleasure. 

escape.  linger. 

the swell of a perfect chord. 

we are all one, and 

time is all now. 

fly high over my head 

in arches and rolls, 

the ballet of poetry, 

the curving line of song. 

paint me a picture of yesterday, 

tell me your dreams for tomorrow. 

open your ears to the song, 

open your eyes to the painting, 

open your heart to the dream. 

no yesterdays, no tomorrows, 

just an endless succession, 

the immediacy of NOW. 

***** 

for Réal... thanks for the inspiration.  SM
