It wasn't then, it'll not be eventually...
When is it?

I knelt at the feet of a sage as a kid
not knowing why he was so 'interesting'
as the women in my village would say
Many things 'stuck'

for their ignorance,
let them have it! '
My little beloved dog was 'A man on vacation'
'love has no opposite, nor does light'
'Inner sight, inner hearing'
The crescendo was,

The unknown sage that insisted it always stayed that way
Dropped his body in his 90s, ten years ago
I went to find his widow recently and could not
Eternity is now~
Past, Present and Future are ONE, God is ONE
