The Present.
Thoughts flow through my mind on rails,
forwards or backwards?
The smallest nudge sends a "what if?" flying into the unknown future,
forwards or backwards?
A fleeting sensation slides my mind back to a curtain-drawn past,
forwards or backwards?
Calling me back is the present,
not thinking in days & weeks,
or forwards & backwards,
just in tiny temporal timeslots,
The Present.

Humans find life in the lifeless,
it is a subconscious act.
So when the coffee machine doesn't work well (despite all available facts),
I give her an incredulous look,
head-cocked, raised brow,
expecting her to look back.
Then after some time (and no reason why),
she works!
What's more human than that?

I want to see our Souls in a thousand lives.
How does your soul flow in the dark nights of the long past?
How does your soft smile look in the lights of a future not yet here?
In a world of strife and rebellion,
in a land of peace and abundance.
Where I am rock, and you are water,
and where we are the same twisted knot of hate and love.
I think my heart will ache the same,
every time we start this game.

Sun on morning skin, up before the others.
Three sets of breathing, asleep, so mine is quiet.
My heart races, wanting to surprise them,
show them I remember the little things.
One decaf, one with milk, and one that's warm dark.
Then a release of tension,
to let them wake up to the gentle sounds of life,
creating spontaneity, to give them a little spark to start.
What brings out these deepest, warmest parts of myself
is knowing that I am on three sets of minds.
