Time

Time

At this time we are here, and we know that it’s true,
from past, to present, to a future we’ll step through.
But these times run so fast, when the changes are great,
we surely must ask, “What’s my changing state?”

If you think about time as an infinite line,
it’s easy to see and hold in your mind,
but consider a wave rolling high and then low,
makes some times move quickly, and others move slow.

Or what if time’s endlessly wrapped round a ball,
Mother Earth was once flat, undoubted by all,
or could time be an apple you pluck from a tree,
selecting events of your destiny?

Whatever the tool you use to adapt,
you know what you know from your own self made map.
It is useless to fret, hold guilt, or to mourn,
see each moment as new, watch your time being born.

Choose to live in the present, no future, no past,
your worrisome world will fade away fast.
Let your heart beat the pace of this life that you live,
with timeless supply is the Love you can give!

Your purpose for witnessing changes you see,
is to learn that your lifetime has always been free.
There’s no greater time, then this moment right now,
to honor your life as the infinite, “Wow!”

That is why they call now the present.
