"Forever is composed of Nows" by Emily Dickinson

 Forever is composed of Nows—

’Tis not a different time,

Except for infiniteness

And latitude of home.


From this, experienced here,

Remove the dates to these,

Let months dissolve in further months,

And years exhale in years.


Without certificate or pause

Or celebrated days,

As infinite our years would be

As Anno Domini’s.
