On goes time
and I what of I
who comes in this moment
be it I from before
or be it I not yet

So much do I crave
that that which I remember
be formed finally to a piece of I not yet

But I cannot see it
and thus feel that still I am

for the learning is quiet
and the yet still to learn is not

the repeating of things
and the repeating of me
for the learning is quiet
and the yet still to learn is not

while still they both go on
I no less than time
both move on
both towards not yet

but I cannot see it
and thus feel that still I am

the I not yet
the I that was that I still am
the I that is that lies between

for the becoming is quiet
and still I am
