This & That

I’ve lived my life in story & song.
Even more so…when told I am wrong.

I lean into what I know is real.
You’re welcome to leave or take this deal.

OK…Because you have stayed, let’s have a chat.
Just you & me on this & that.

“This” is now & it’s all that they count;
But…now’s the place atop pasts we surmount.

The shore ahead & an edge afore…
Where & from the precious now does pour.

“That” over there is future & past.
Yet, betwixt them “now” can never last.

So…“this” has worth, because it is earned.
“That” space where past to future is turned.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
