Truth Flowing Free


Wrestling with time,

an illusion supreme

 

Its trinity empiric,

three masks to deceive

 

Past, future, and present,

our dreams undefined

 

Outside of their stricture,

new presence unrhymed

 

Rejecting convention,

short sighted and slight

 

Imprisoning our vision,

with capture and fright

 

In seizing this instant,

its moment sublime

 

All truth flowing freely

—unfrozen in time

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)
