The past is long gone 

from here 

there is no way back 

how could there be 

The present is over too quickly 

for feeble desires 

to have any effect 

except to hide peace 

The future races ahead 

forever out of reach 

of dreamy wishes 

and useless plans 

And yet when I rest 

in the endless now 

every need is satisfied 

in ways never imagined
