Poem: Serendipity of Time

I am fascinated by these little discoveries when serendipity hits me… like the time when I look down on the flowing water beneath the bridge. Have you experienced this?

Poem: SERENDIPITY OF TIME

A sense of serendipity …
As the water flows beneath
The bridge moves back;
and as the water flows past
the bridge falls behind-
As I peep down from both sides
standing on the bridge

there is that moment
when the water is under the bridge
that I can touch and feel its wetness
Like touching time itself;
Yet I seem to be moving
into the future
as I peep into my past,
and moving backward
deep into my past
as I peep into the future

A sense of reality sets
when I take my eyes away
from the flowing water
the touch, the feel and,
the experience of wetness.
the moment of silent stillness-
that is the present that
we all seek to hold onto.
