17 Flow of Time

Quietly new year has finally come
Making the old year a previous past
Now it would not flow nor change to become
A time to fulfil desires of the heart
Even its precious and fine memories
May soon be ignored if not forgotten
Mere distant shadows one might still cherish
And barely kept perhaps as a token
Whenever some urges or thoughts or dreams
Fly back to the past for some consolation
What might be found there except dried-up streams Flow of Time
With scattered debris of strange emotions Soneta 051
For the current and its dynamic force Anglicia
Meanders along in its present course AD 2003
Being a fine gift that life could bestow
To those still struggling ever to move on
The glorious present that is here and now
Will unfold its own time, space and motion
At times unsteady its flow will not cease
To urge all men to embrace the future
Promising in truth the comforting peace
Of its unknown depths and its caring features
Through the path of faith, hope and charity
This time at hand may bring the year of grace
Flow of Time A great season of peace and unity
Soneta 052 That would instil a joyful song of praise
Anglicia With a hope for some future endowment
AD 2003 At present the past will find fulfilment
