AS LIFE'S SLIPSTREAM SLIPS AWAY  (2020, another spontaneously spawned, Hot SPA poem.)

 
be as thou  
once then  
and now  
still want  
to be  
see as thou  
both there  
back when  
and here again  
still long  
to see  
yourself  
this world  
become  
and be  
for peace  
beyond all peace  
we know  
beyond all things  
until then  
shall only
still yet ever be  
just another  
elusive dream  
one which seems  
much too  
often  
to somehow always  
so mysteriously  
only slip away  
like fleeting time  
like life  
and  
being  
how quickly
so soon
it all  
comes and goes
wherein every
new beginning
comes its
inevitable end
which is only
a momentary
breath thin mask
for its intangible
new beginning
to begin
again
and again
in both
this illusory world
and in the
much greater
unified
inseparable
sublime ineffable
mysterious scheme
of things
within
the oneness
of all
that
is
