IT IS WE WHO ARE NOW <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />It is we who are we now <br />Us in this world as we are now <br />Which truly matters. <br /> <br />The rest <br />The billions of years of what will be <br />Or what was. <br />All the rest <br />The billions and billions of people <br />And minds and nights and galaxies also <br />All that otherness we will never know <br />It doesn’t matter. <br /> <br />We as we are in our own lifetimes <br />With those we love <br />This is what matters <br />Only this <br />Our life our loves <br />The time we have <br />Before we won’t have any.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-is-we-who-are-now/
