To Our What Is...

What is, is all we have

What was and what will be

Are like horizon-lines and graves

Fruitless futility

What is, is worth our best

What is, is soon what was

As what will be, becomes what is

This sequence does not pause

Therefore, to our What Is

We should commit because

Who knows what What Is waits to be

When this what is, is Was
