Each step taken

Each step taken

Is further away

Or is it closer, toward

Time is as flexible

As the imagination

Moving, oscillating,

This way and that

With changeable acceleration

Before coming to a halt

Hovering

With the grace

Of a Hummingbird

A blur of

Unhurried motion

Barely moving

In one direction

Even as the world about it

Turns

An imperceptible tilt

Of beating wings

An extended reach

The taste of nectar

A simple pleasure

An everyday goal

For some

The ultimate prize

For many

Who knows the difference?

When truth

Is harder to define

Than one expects

Unless you accept

The notion

Of multiple perception

Be circumspect

There is prudence

In pondering,

Timelessness

Has value

When all is possible

At one and the same moment

Without separation

As a goal

We are an article of faith

All alone and yet

Indefinitely one

In our union

Together

Forever.
