Analysis of This Moment
It comes like
Seems like
Feels like
And speaks like
—a dream
That maybe
This instant
For once
And forever
—can mean
That yesterday
And tomorrow
Break ties
With the now
—and then free
The future
And past
From the
Present
—this moment to be
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2018)
