The Time Divine

Life and death have flowed in time, 

The sublime rain touches the vermillion sky.

Will the white hills bloom in the still seas and rivers,

Will the thrush overpour her heart selflessly, ceaselessly, 

The realm of dream, immemorial time and

Present time, merging of two worlds? 

Utmost love and vacuity...

The Time divine 

Claws of clobbered time are turned up,

Dismantled self and ephemeral time 

Before and after 

Looming clouds and duskiness, visible 

Time to time, sudden epiphany,

Flickering of burnished tapers, persistent stillness 

In the sempiternal night and beautiful moon...
