I listen to the sound of the stream and its tiny waterfalls and I find myself encapsulated by the sound, the rhythm of the falling drops.
\nI sense an ancient presence among these trees…<\/em><\/p>\n

Is it God?
\nOr is it Me?<\/em><\/p>\n

What am I looking for?
\nAnd what did I find?
\nA voice from a distant past?
\nEchoes of the Present?
\nOr shadows of the Future?…<\/em><\/p>\n

My body’s still
\nMy body’s cold
\nMy mind is big
\nMy mind is old
\nMy name is Keithius, and I
\nchallenge thee, o Time!
\nMake yourself my servant,
\nOr I’ll be thine!<\/em><\/p>\n

Time is short and time is long
\nA paradox has come to show
\nPuzzle over this for years I will
\nTime’s new challenges, they come still. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
