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

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2021)
