the fickle mind

[mtmynd]

as New as New is
i knew it wouldn't last
just as New always knew
without Familiarity
there would be no
one who knew
New and Familiarity
shared their happiness

o! fickle mind running to and from
searching for what it does
thinking this
asking that
wondering itself
questioning others
whose minds run
incessantly
for the sake of
re-New-ing a Now
that has No Mind
to know no New
as New cannot
be Now any longer
than Now always is:

never new
never familiar
never old
never stranger
Now forever
forever Now
no mind to ask
the question How?

no need to know
what mind demands
stricken of time
without any hands
time just was
what time allowed
but Now has no limits
to limit it's Now

unlike Familiar
and unlike New
Now is Now
that's all Now do
