TIME and NOW

...................(July 21, 1971)
(From my booklet 'Thoughts and Time' published 2001.09.02)

The world before is the world now,
Breeding the world tomorrow somehow,

There is no time, no loan;
All is now - the timeless zone.

......All that is physical manifests in time -
......All that is thinking follows that line;
......Thought is memories of happenings past;
......Thought is hope for things to last.

Thought, sweet memory's mime,
Accumulating, coagulating - time;
A psychic illusion, a binding reality,
An escape from cosmic totality.

......Released from memory's plough,
......Revelling in the eternal NOW,
......Unbound, unlimited, free of time;
......Free of thought's babbling rhyme.
