Sum-Thing to Think About


Before today is 'congealed'
I hope these tomatoes will be sealed


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
