This Moment in Time


Is this moment in time a razor’s edge,
Where past and future fall off precipitously
In opposite directions?

Is it as vacillating as the shoreline,
Where the hard grains of the past slip under
The dancing waves of the future?

Is it a single spot of color,
Surrounded by swirling pigments of the past and future,
Casting various shades on the central splotch of the present?

Can every moment be one of acute consciousness?
Or are the moments lacking in intentionality,
A balance essential for sanity?

And when the final grain falls through the hour glass,
Will I collide with the brick wall of death,
Crumple at its foundation, and claw my way through?

Or will I slip gracefully and effortlessly,
Through a filmy drape of gauze.
Into a brighter and more intense reality?
