This poem is in English only<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Time always gets ahead of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t seize yesterday,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

today is too late, what a delay,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and tomorrow won’t let me be<\/p>\n\n\n\n

fully aware of my decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now isn’t now anymore,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

what was isn’t what it’s for,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

as my thought is obsolete<\/p>\n\n\n\n

by the time it appears complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What then is duration’s core?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Flow as that of a mountain stream,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

linear though it may seem,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

divides or connects branches,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

parallel is the true scheme<\/p>\n\n\n\n

looping as now approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Memories, writing and sacrifice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to past and future reach,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

overarching every vice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in the present us to teach,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that there’s a six on every dice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Thus gamble meets the destiny,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

our choice throws options to roll<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and opens destiny’s loophole,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

yet ties the lines of eternity –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

double sided version of infinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Infinity is way too large,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

it’s hard to know where to start,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

how the inevitable to overarch,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

since relative is bound to last<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and ephemeral is always vast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There is constancy of speed,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

still, I feel the pressing need<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to slow down arbitrary ticking<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and skip to the silent feeling –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

motionless, out of time, freed.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
