The past is a dream
A fictitious fantasy devised
By some sardonic kindly mind
In the hope that we might see
The meanings of today and all its possibilities
And that in our gratitude
We would not live in such a way
That we should regrogress
To all the mean lowliness
Of our imagined yesterdays.
The past is some fictitious thing
A one dimension fantasy
Made to be or seem to be... in the hope that we might see
Beyond the scene of shadow-past
Yes to see, we must to see
The Living beauty sympathy,
The greater Alter-universe
Is just the place where we should be.
This present dream is not the thing
This dream we will that it not be
This one dimension fantasy.
