Musings Under the Oaks: From the Linear to the Circular

In the moment

We cease to be

Time turns on itself

To bring the end

To the beginning

And the parts of each life

Fall into place

To make a coherent whole

In the moment

We cease to be

The whole of each life

Settles into its place

In the tapestry of time

To live forever

In the eternal present

Of everything that will happen

After we cease to be
