The Now Quest Poem by Kishore Asthana

This wild imagination
curiously loops back and forth
Across the one way passage of time
And collects in each encounter
With the path of happening
A residue of perfection denied
Salvation unfulfilled

In the misty future
These loops of the mind
Create the cores of Time
And being untamed, they are many
Till reality intrudes
And all is past

In between the two
The here and now
Is neither here
Nor now

- So man lives
And so he dies
