Knowing The Now

When you climbed that mountain

in the days when no one else 

was on the paths,

when you reached the summit

ready for a lonely leap

in the days when the space was empty

of the selfie taking crowd,

when you recognised the transience,

the capture of a moment

in gratitude

before it died.

You know 

now

that it’s the only time

now

but so much is new

between 

now and then.
