«Equinox of Time» is a beautiful and evocative poem. It captures the essence of balance, transition, and the ever-shifting nature of existence that the verses explore. It suggests a moment of equilibrium amid the chaos of life, where past and future converge in the eternal dance of time. It’s a fitting choice that adds depth and resonance to the work.

This poem is rich with introspection and emotion, exploring themes of chance, fate, and the passage of time.

The repetition of «the now, the then, and the tomorrow» creates a sense of cyclical inevitability, highlighting the complexities of human experience.

The line «Think yesterday… act today… regret tomorrow» encapsulates the bittersweet reality of hindsight and the perpetual struggle to navigate life’s uncertainties. It’s a poignant reminder to seize the moment and embrace the present, even amidst the ambiguity of the future.

In the grand design of fate’s scheme,

It seemed orchestrated, yet unplanned,

Not even across a million years,

Was it pondered or foreseen,

But stumbled upon as if by chance.

We crawled through pathways to depart,

Spent moments seeking sight,

Yet no matter how far we strayed,

The elusive moment slipped away,

That fleeting glimpse of life,

The instance we believed we’d vanished.

In the definitive yet inconclusive realm,

Within my precious, magnificent darkness,

May your thoughts of me fade for now,

Lingering only temporarily,

For all invested, all deemed ‘wasted,’

We drink to those moments,

Raise our glasses to the sky,

Pledge to the ‘land of togetherness,’

Where dreams materialize,

And naught remains but emptiness,

An empty pillow, a miraculous cause,

The nexus of now, then, and tomorrow.

So allow me to rephrase:

«Reflect on yesterday, act upon today, lament tomorrow.»
