Before today is 'congealed'
I hope these tomatoes will be sealed
I hope these tomatoes will be sealed
in jars as marinara sauce!
The future cannot change the past
Its tableau set and sealed
The momentum of moments cast
And instantly congealed
Like shadows on a field, futile
To try to grasp its form
As a pageant of moments file
Into an echo-storm
Where we are always caught between
What was and what will be
While present always paints a scene
For bygones gallery
How momentous the momentum
Of moments as they chime
And ever seamlessly become
The sum of a lifetime
