Times Shadow (+3)

His final words to the mirror…

“You must now set me free”

All time a reflection

—of what’s never to be

(Dreamsleep: August, 2019)

Imprisoned

In the commercial age,

money captures time

Depleting awareness

—a prison unto itself

(Dreamsleep: August, 2019)

Neither Borrower Nor Lender Be

The past is left in mourning,

the future still unknown

The present disavows them both,

not borrowed—never loaned

(Dreamsleep: August, 2019)

Disavowed

Neither left wing nor right

conservative or liberal,

he goes about his day

Living outside the parameters

of deception,

hell in heavens way

While living as dead

he vanquishes time,

each moment present now

Defying your judgment

refusing to choose

—all limits disavowed

(Dreamsleep: August, 2019)
