Being Absent Where We Are Not


If I am present in this moment,
then I am absent from all that is
outside this present moment.

What does it mean to be absent from all
that is outside this present moment?

To be absent is to cease to exist
in the places and times where I am not.

This is what it means to be present.

    Insight

    By looking backwards
    You can make sense of it all.
    Love you sang your heart out for
    Vanished in shadow;
    History uncoiled its truths
    And struck the stars with regret.
