The Times Are Coming And Showing Poem by Peter S. Quinn

The times are coming and showing
The best is yet to come
We know and we are going
With this and that where it’s from
I never know where to turn
For everything goes and we yearn
Nothing stays for evermore
It’s gone just like it did before
Best times are living without
For all is just in and about

The times are coming and going
Their footsteps onward not knowing
The rough times and new
The many and the few
All the good that comes into mind
And nowhere else you can find
The roads that lead to nowhere
Something of both here and there
A one way that is never staying
Each street the hours are weighing

Tell me just what we might live
Nothing is there in the morning
All is to share and to give
If you have worked for you’re earning
The daydreams that nobody knows
The feelings and findings inside
What comes to be and goes
All the dreams that out there shall hide
Wrong or right nothing at all
This and that here big and small

Maybe tomorrow we'll find what's ok
Walking the streets and alleys
Something is here just for a day
Lost into air gone without a trace
How can I manage and leave
When there is living without
Times are so momentarily brief
Each in their ways and doubt

The times are coming and showing
The best is yet to come
We know and we are going
With this and that where it’s from
I never know where to turn
For everything goes and we yearn
Nothing stays for evermore
It’s gone just like it did before
Best times are living without
For all is just in and about
Yes all is just with and about
