Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present All time is unredeemable. TS Eliot – Burnt Norton
Lilts of birdsong Drift on early morning air
Between the sway of emerald branches
Under leaden skies
And call out
Seeking a response.
I listen to the sounds,
Locked in time
Between a past and future
Waiting in the moment,
Which is real and unforgiving.
Bruce Cooper
