On again, off again, round and around, 

One moment lost, the next moment found; 

Movement and stillness, silence and sound, 

One moment free, the next moment bound. 

 

Living and dying, doing and being, 

One moment blind, the next moment seeing;

Darkness and light, solid and space, 

One moment law, the next moment grace. 

 

Dove and eagle, lion and bull, 

One moment empty, the next moment full; 

Passion and purpose, diamonds and dust, 

One moment steel, the next moment rust.

 

Here and now, now and then,

One moment start, the next moment end; 

Something and nothing, nothing and all, 

One moment stand, the next moment fall. 

 

Thought and sense, mind and heart, 

One moment science, the next moment art;

Thunder and lightening, sunshine and rain, 

One moment pleasure, the next moment pain.

 

Flesh and spirit, body and soul, 

One moment part, the next moment whole; 

Mary and Joseph, manger and stall, 

One moment Nothing, the next moment All.
