This moment falls
in middle time; that
place where past
and future have no
face, and the ground
is held by present,
embracing all the
space, and smiling
in the gaze of distant
possibility, both
behind and ahead in
this path through life.
How did it come to
be, in this unexpected
way, which prior
thoughts did not hold,
which neither fears
nor hopes described?
Surprising in its
presence, such trick
of time and space,
born without thought,
simply happening,
as if it had always been.

perfectly describing moments we cannot contain no matter how hard we try
Moments are vaporous and fleeting, and time is an ever moving illusion...
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think the present time is the most confusing... such a short moment is now compared the the past and even the future (mostly)...
ReplyDeleteNice last two lines--happening as if it had always been.
ReplyDeleteTime can be mysterious indeed.I enjoyed your thought provoking piece.
ReplyDeleteAll time is middle? So much to think about here. So beautifully framed as well
