Seventeen minutes in the Now or(or The Was โ€˜n the IS โ€˜n the Now โ€˜n the WHEN

Seventeen Minutes in the NOWย 

(or The Was โ€˜n the IS โ€˜n the Now โ€˜n the WHEN

This is a poem

Wha! I rote

In the THEN !!!

โ€˜bout the WAS and the IS

And the NOW and the WHEN.!

โ€˜twas meant to be smart

But the words wouldโ€™nt come

They went where they shouldโ€™nt

Now my Ego is numb,

That BIG BLUE BOOKย ย ย ย ย ย ย 

โ€˜twas meant to inspire

But all that it did was make

me dispire ...................( poetic Licence)

So I said to me self itโ€™s

The NOW that I want
I will stop looking out

And start searching within.

I know itโ€™s inside

But to catch it โ€˜s the key

Theย ย  IS is elusive

Just so hard to see.

I just have to tame it

And tease it and such

May..be it will peepout

And give me a touch!

And then I will know

that itโ€™s not about THEN

but the NOW that is isness

and theย ย  Presence! ย Amen!

But this question of BEING

I ask myself NOW IS

ย ย ย How will the WASย  and the

IS and the THEN ever make sense

if Iโ€™m stuck in the WHEN !!

Called A Course in Miracles.. which inspired this poem

Holy Crap!! ~ JOHN MULLINS!!....... this is fantastically creative!!.... touching upon some VERY interesting philosophical questions.... in truly compelling poetic prose...... with a VERY interesting formatting as well..... the idea that looking "within"~ holds the key to all the answers we are looking for outwardly ....is one of the reasons I began my blog....... and that idea leading me into metaphysics and the ideas now being tossed around at Cambridge on "Intelligent Design"....... this is SO friggin' cool brother poet......I'm definitely looking forward to more!!.......ALL STARS...... well done...... and.......WELCOME to COSMO!!........LOVE and ROCKETS!!.......T xo
