Time moving quicker each day
memories so fresh they make me ache
as they recede ... two years, three?
When does the 'recent' (past tense)
give way to a fixed and remote history?
"Ah, this!", Bhagwan says.
This moment, as those, to cup to our lips
to cherish it all;
the receding past,
the current moment,
and the promised future.
Here, on the razor's edge,
here I must love it all.
And,
if I ache for the past,
I will love the ache
and feel, with passion,
that this is perfect too.
