-- Then It Be Now --

By John Herlihy

 

If now not yet now

Now soon to come

I will patiently wait.

 

If now will come

It will surely come

Then it be now.

 

If now be now

Then I am in the now

No longer need to wait.

 

If now not yet then

Then soon to be then

So be in the now.

 

If then not be now

Then always be then

Now turned then.

 

Then forever then

Now forever now

Blessed somehow

An interesting play on words. Somehow reminded me of going north to south on the planet. You only go south until you hit the south pole, and then you start going north. Ad infinitum. Going east to west, you continue going in one direction until you stop and turn around and go the other direction. Thanx 4 sharing. r
