Infinite Time Poem by Teresa Chrobak

how does it happen
to be here and now
without really being
here or now?

a moment in time
a lifetime of laughter
without really knowing
how we got here

suspended in time
the conversations continue
without a reason or a care
how we keep going

when did it begin
this thing this time
without structure ordinaried by
how they scripted it

give us a minute
give us an hour
give up conventions of
not stopping time

how did it happen
the here and the now
in another lifetime
of infinite time

did they dust us off
and light us up
did they spin us out
of silk from stars
did they free us from
the usual cage
that man has made - what man has made

this is why it happens
their here and now
to be
here and know
that now is right
and in the intent of
darkness
to be in infinite light
