Without beginning or end
There is the here and now
The essence of love
Is evident
Even as emotion runs wild
The presence of life
Is immediate
I look into my child’s eye
Where to now?
The unknown space of lightness
Of joy
Of depth in pain
Of surrender
In this timelessness
There is space to ponder
Only
On the here and now
