Poem by Sydney Eddison
Now
​
If only we understood Already wind is moving
the moment, the moisture-laden trees,
not the next, but this one, the sky is lighter,
in which the rain falls soft and straight, and the leaves
disappearing into the eager grass. throb with life
as sun breaks through
the thinning clouds
and time moves on.
