Presence

Stealing the grace of a timed goal,

is presence in her forgotten state.

Making past and future whole,

oblivious to the world's date.

*

Never will it abandon its place,

nor change its meaning in our lives.

It will not chase the timely race

nor wait till its moment yet arrives.

*

All it can do is simply be

and hope for purpose to be instilled.

First in what you need to see

before your goals can be fulfilled.

*

You don't need to seek to find.

She's always closely at your side.

At the very front of every mind,

But life still assures that she will hide.
