Now and Then: Now and Then

Now And Then

Now and then
It’s strange to think them the same
Though from one the other became
No clear line can be named

Now and then
I think of you too often
And all that’s now won’t soften
What then promised to begin

But that was then
And this is now
And I’ll take you
Any way anyhow

Now and then
A hummingbird comes to my sill
And I watch it, silent and still
Lying in bed so tranquil
