In that moment {fragment}
by Betania TeschWhat layer have we slipped between,
stomping down past and holding up future,
keeping one step behind present,
out of sight--
We form in this space
constantly evading the time--
We become human in the running,
immortal in the escape.
In that moment before waking
we are indestructable--
In that moment before dying
we are timeless.

| Posted by Ashok Sharda on 03/24/03 at 02:44 AM 'Keeping one step behind present......in this space constantly evading time (life)- we become human ( human- machine) in the running, immortal in the escape ( death). And yes, in that moment before waking we are timeless in our deaths. Beautiful realization dear Bethany. |
