Then And There
The way my life has come and gone
was, has, had and seems to have
an only partially conscious present.
It happened and I see it happened.
It will, and I still see it will.
And these are in my thoughts:Â
the past and future.
Sages tell us to live in the present,
embrace the moment, the here and now.
For me these are often there and then.
memory and anticipation.
