Never before, never again

Spring evening by the sea
the same as other days
yet not the same:

This bird,
this cloud,
this tree
never before never again.

Waves continuously lap the shore
soporific, rhythmic, eternal,
yet never precisely the same as before.

The sky, the clouds, the light
each moment of this unique dusk
approaching night.

Dear busy mind,
filled up with thoughts of times ahead,
of times behind.
Stand still now, in this perfect moment;
Be tranquil, make this moment mine.
