You Can Never Get Your Foot Out Of The Same River Even Once

Everything arrives, but nothing stays
nor does anything real ever change.
Just try to hold one day in your hands.
It becomes a different same day.
The past blossoms at lightening speed,
the future arrives suddenly, now is forever.
Light one instant; dark the next.
All stories stretched far enough end in death,
deaths always far away until they aren’t,
deaths that can only happen right now.
The door of time: forever ajar, opening
upon a wonderland of uncertainty.
