.......

It was today I knew my future

I saw it sprinkle like a morning dew

Clearly it attaches to everything I am and will be

Proposals and tiny wheels of fortune

Granted me a genie wish

Look into another me

In a time no open eye has seen

I crop the picture and get the center’s attention

Only to soothe my mind

The cravings I experienced as a child

My hair grew white in time

And the totality of one’s presence

No longer avidly mattered

Just time and space

Perhaps not even that

My heart softened and yielded

Into what it always could be

Patient and blind

For it became merciful and

Utterly kind

Yes it was today I became
