HOLD  KEEPS  SLIPPING 

What I keep holding onto
seems to keep slipping –
sliding  out of my mind –
creative  ideas, a possible story,
the invisible – a memory –
the stuff of imagination – the spiritual - 
God moments, they keep disappearing
down the drain, nothing seems to be lasting –

time keeps ticking and taking away the present.
Uh oh! There aren’t too many tomorrows left?        
Yet the now called now - the eternal now - is right now.
