even time in a bottle
seeps away silently
it was never yours
to begin with
it will never be yours
except for the present moment
and like the genie in a lamp
you can have three wishes
for the time that is in your name
but you can never, ever
return it to the lamp
nor ask for one more wish

Beautiful! And what about the true me who is beyond time and space? Is there hope of another wish?

And one more thing about time is that it is the heaviest when filled with nothing.

Dear Sonya,
Thank you for this poem which brings to us a powerful truth about the time called now.
All good wishes,

“Now” is indeed the only time that exists and therefore “now” is the only truth we know.
