The past is the future
the present is but a bridge
for crossing over

there the life of things to come
owed its genesis to the planted seed
that would yield the eventual outcome

without the pivot in the first instance
nothing would spin or come about
it was the very cradle of every experience

infant sounds became words and then came the sentence
life is the forward ****** to the vastness of future time
the child will become the parent and grand-parent--the logical sequence.
