NOW and ZEN

NOW and ZEN

I used to think of time as Now and Then,
The past was made up of Last...
The last day of school, end of rules,
The last date of courtship, new relationship,
The last day of pregnancy, labor with poignancy,
The last day of youth, facing truth.

Now, older and wiser, faded, a bit jaded,
Time is blending, no more ending,
There is no Last, no more Past,
Lessons continue out of school, there really ARE NO RULES,
A new relationship comes to view, as Love evolves with YOU and ME,
I AM pregnant with possibility, feeling poignant from responsibility,
My Youth has returned as I face the Truth...
In Oneness, LOVE has set us FREE,
No more future expectancy...
Now and ZEN, WE can BE.
