Now

I went for a late afternoon nap but started playing with words in my head. Liked these words so dashed for a pen and pad, and wrote the following poem.

Just take your mind beyond our time and space

Continuum.

All things have happened, whatever they are.

The Universe has died, or been reborn

Again and Again,

In God’s Embrace.

You and I were born and passed away.

Andromeda and the Milky Way were merged.

Our Earth was roasted when the Sun ballooned into a Red Giant.

The Human Race had its day

And learnt its fate.

And I wrote this.

It all has happened, as I say,

Yet still is happening

Now.
