Now and then


Just around the corner, 
We can see, peeking out, our destination: 
That place we’re so determined to go; 
That objective we’re determined to achieve, 
Haunting us with its almost-thereness — 
Which is fine, but let us not ignore 
What lies between, what lies here, 
Immediately before us: 
The sun, sparkling on the water; 
The scent of passing evergreens; 
The harsh cries of the gulls…
