Out Of Time

4/10/10

This isn't about dying

though death will serve

to delete the concept

of some linear measurement

that often dictates living

through world of minutes,

hours, days, years, decades,

giving rise to labels

early, late, young, old,

with accordant emotional tether,

instead I'm talking 'presence',

ability to embody soul

while experiencing ego life

so depth is realized,

a kind of continuity

which brings ancestry forward

from original men, women,

who are in us,

having sown the seeds

accumulated through the millennia

which became individual 'me'

in still point 'now',

the forever transitioning moment

creating generations to come,

all that they'll be

within this miraculous existence

where I am absorbed,

transfixed, forefront and background,

emancipated, out of time.
