Those big leaves
bear drops of water
without getting wet
All my senses
take in pain and joy
without letting them
take possession
I jut watch the 
present moment
in which the world
plays on my stage
and once the play 
is over
I call the curtains
moving on 
to the next at
hand
for it is the present moment 
that is my real present -
fresh, bright and joyful.

All the world's a stage...

All the world's a stage..
may be...
But I am not playing any part
now
I am backstage if you like
in the green room
just stripped myself
to be just myself
and honestly.
I don't know
what it's like
to be yourself
but that's me

that's exactly me:
to be not knowing 
and yet going ahead 
and doing it.
So I am not playing any part
you can write a play around 
that
and that would be nice.

A twist in the ....

After all that I
did -
the blood, the sweat and the toil -
I cannot rest.
Yes, I loved and loved
with all my heart and flesh.
Now I have to hold
my own
delicately poised
on the edge
while the stage has shifted 
from underneath 
my base.
