Life Is an Eternal Present
In the ocean of Cosmic Time
The script is written upon each shore
Awash with poetic ryhme

The ebbing and flowing of Life Itself
Through in breaths and out breaths sublime
Constantly changing and moving on
Caressing The Sands of Time

Each story is written upon the shore
In magnificent Cosmic show
They remain for a while for all to share
Then surrender to The Divine Flow

Erasing each tale the shore is wiped clean
Swept in majestic great style
Returned to Life's Sea from whence all is born
Then reformed in Itself to beguile

Waves of new Life again do come forth
Their Essence the same as before
Dancing and tumbling in waves of delight
Cascading on new Divine Shore

For ever and ever the Tide of Creation
Expands and contracts in Pure Being
Eternally Present no future no past
Just Isness All Knowing All Seeing

For All Is of now One Moment Divine
Life Itself through forgetfullness knowing
The Natural Cycles of Nature Herself
Cosmic Laws to mankind ever showing
