(Inspired by Charles Olson)
What if these days
I let myself float along
without plans
without the need
to know
what comes next?
What if these days
I let time
carry me along
on currents
of sun wind air?
What if these days
I let go of time
Stopped counting
minutes hours days years
Would I still be me?
What if
I allowed each hour simply
to carry me
Would I fear the face of eternity
Would death become alive?
Or could I let each precious day unfold
without
– Evelyn Torton Beck
