What was,

became you

 

What will be,

becomes you

 

What could be,

belies you

 

What is

—befalls

 

(Dreamsleep: September, 2020)

 

 

The Way Back

 

 ‘You’ll never step in the same river twice,’

the future now the past

 

Motion the only constancy,

beyond all time to last

 

You will never see the mountain,

by staring in its face

 

Perspective shorn and vision torn,

its image out of place

 

You’ll never look into your soul,

while outside glancing in

 

Its essence what you’re running from

—whose gateway leads to Him

 

(The Book Of Prayers: September, 2020)
