Time

When am I?

Where am I?
The room expands to infinity
and feels cramped.
I am lost in now:
            no flowers to pick;
                        no bouquets to place;
no need to do;
no one needs me to do it.

This touches who I am,
            restlessly doing and going
                        fitting living into a pattern,
            the pattern becoming me.

But take time!
            Don’t let it take you,
                        swiftly, like the middle current
                                                of the unstoppable river.
            Dam the river time,
                        and in the quiet lake,
                                    behind the dam
            don’t notice that the water
                                    still flows.

Swim deep in Now
