Pendulum

You can touch now

Feel it somehow

Kiss and caress

Hold in arms

Toss around

Throw in the air

To catch again

With open arms

Can’t play with past

It is long gone

Just memories that

Refuse to die

Future dreams

Unseen unborn

Yet our pendulum swings

Between them

Never for a moment

Settling on Now
