Toward a Philosophy of Being

In our universe of unfolding multiplicities
Where and when anything can happen and everything does
With so many choices and chances confronted by these
As well as so many other questions questioning through
Our multiplying multifoliate realities
We might fear how it might be as opposed to how it was

But how it was might not be how it is or it might be
And we are only here and now no matter what we do
Only this for this moment with no further guarantees

Yet nothing but possibility is nothing to fear
For us here in the now of being now and being here
And whether it is serendipity or the unseen
Or likely the former in the service of the latter
Here we are as we are now at the heart of the matter
The meeting place of time and space on the point of the spear

We who have been and who will be
On the point of the spear right now and right here
Are those who are and one is me

Happy to be here as to be anywhere
And it looks like this is the place
Happy to be now as anytime I might
Now when time intersects with space
Where there are a lot of questions in the air
And we hope things will turn out right

But things turn out right multifoliate ways
Each of them worth being to see
And where and when our imagination says
Trick or treat as we go and grow
Imagining down our nights and up our days
Dreaming them we make them so

In the in between of never and always
Remembered and yet waited for
In the equipoise of nothing less and nothing more
Right now right here on the point of the spear
