Poetry: This is now

by Ann Taylor

Created on: March 24, 2009

I am lost
in the craziness
surrounding me.
People running about,
always with a purpose,
but it surprises me,
if they ever
find their way.

I remove myself
from the pathos
and find me.
I am here, now,
in the space between
the black and white,
where nothing is
and is not.

I feel the world
sizzling, churning
within me. I hear
laughter without sound,
tears without crying,
words never spoken,
yet never
forgotten.

My heart is beating
inside and
outside of me.
A mind, all-knowing,
open and free, a spark
glowing inside
of you,
and even me.

I am the world,
a universe of one.
I am the wind
and the rain, the
stars and the sun.
Always and forever
me, yet never
without you.

Not then, and not now.
