POEM

Being There

Mango, it is always Mango,
As it ripens, changing Colour.
The Existent, is Permanent, while
In Its  Time ; It is changing
As each of Its constituents, seen and unseen
Change. No Electron is fixed in its position.
Gold in the Bowl maybe destructed, reformed
To many Gold Rings ; There then
The Paradox :  Constant Is,
But It is also Changing.
Substance is Unchanging, but
The Mode in Changing. You Know
In the Mind’s Eye, the Infinite, Its Shape,
You cannot, yet, achieve Its Infinite Attributes
