I am Here.
I am Now.
Pressed in on all sides by time;
rushed on by a beating heart
that counts the seconds gone by.
In a place called Here, Now.
But the landscape of now has changed.
All I remember is someday
threatening to never come.
I glanced towards not yet,
I wished for then.
How strange to let my eyes return
to find that the Here that I've known
is now 6 months, 12 days, and 36 seconds ago.
And yet I am still here,
I am still now.
All that is familiar is change.
I set my sights on a future
that screamed my name and called me unfinished.
It drowned the voice of present,
so unassuming, so resilient.
So I am still Here.
I am still Now.
And it's the only place I'll ever be.
