Dawn & Dusk

There are two
Great rocks of time
Standing by us
On either side

The past and the future
They tower and loom
Casting shadows
Of fear and gloom

They are always
Threatening to topple on us
The future from fragility
The past from failures

But sitting between
These two rocks of time
Is a thin seam
Which one can mine

It’s bursting
With silver and gold
With precious jewels
And riches untold

This rich reservoir
Is called the present moment
The only rock of time
Which contains contentment
