Analysis of A Timeless Path
Present past and present
future
Holy Trinity with the here
and now
Three states that bind all
known creation
Defining when but never
how
This very instant the past
calls forward
The future answers
from a timeless path
Where all three join and
walk together
To bless this moment
—the one to last
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
