At Play in the Garden Park

The end of time does not come tomorrow,

but in the moment we witness the end of the past

and the leading edge of the future.

In this place, into which we are invited,

there is little for the ego to do but sing

the songs of Hafiz and Rumi,

write the poems of Rilke

and Whitman, and Oliver

over and over and over,

as if there were no tomorrow.
