With every step I have taken
I am walking in present
Leaving footprints behind
As evidence of my existence
Life refuses my caveat
The pain destroys my mind
Death reaches with dead fingers
And I am surrounded by witnesses
The moment need not be awakened
It exists and is gone, spent
My dreams are unfeigned
My life is persistence
The waves of time are flat
They refuse to rise
And the flow lingers
Settling in the stillness
