Now Then

If that was then

And this is now…

This      and      that

May draw apart

Now beholds the stage

Yet if then echos in space

An invitation to release

An invitation to release

An invitation to release…

What is not released,

Imprints the space

Distorting our page

And Now over beholds Then

As if the ingredients

of the past hold the

potency of flavor,

like lemons in the ice tea

Until the teacher in the taste

is digested, set free to become

a transformative homeopathic drop,

no longer an active ingredient

of todays Elixir, yet an insight

that still changes the chemistry

Changes states of being

As nothing is ever lost;

just change of states

What is released,

Forms the grace

Distilling our stage

And Now beholds ALL—

Our essence of being
