     TIME

Time alters form.
What was
Gives rise
To what is.
Gases condense
Into planets.
A spermatozoa
Finds a ovum,
Here I am.
Impermanent, temporary
A confluence of
Past concatenations.
For the time being
Formed, I am.
Me here,
You there.
Next?


Credit given to Robert Langan, for his wonderful book Minding What Matters, Psychotherapy and the Buddha Within, for these wise words.
