Transcendental Sonnet #596:
The Universe Contained Within the Now
That breath rising in your chest
That heartbeat which you feel now
Is of all possible best
And the only one real now
We only get one by one
One present ever begun
Yesterday is history
And better left forgotten
Tomorrow is mystery
And is not yet begotten
Today is reality
And is all for you and me
Give us this day our daily bread somehow
The universe contained within the now
