Life is short
In the face of time
But there are things that
For an instant take us to distances
Worlds
Through our interior
I can have a love for an afternoon
That then leaves
Not to be found again
That can be worth the love of a whole life
That makes us float through time
As if we were living the world on this
Treadmill
Sometimes a quick moment
Of the intensity of a look
Makes us feel
Like coming and going from the sea
In the fullness of our being
Other times, returning
And surrendering
Or surrendering in a moment and filling our whole life
