"...out of all of time is only this"


Poem Artwork

Vow the Now

So many summers but this is the first
In which I pursue the better and best
As now I let go of the worse and worst
To live in the now and forget the rest
The future which never comes and the past
Which I must leave behind me now at last

Put aside what-if and what-might-have-been
To focus on this moment in-between
Since out of all of time is only this
Not what-was-once nor remains-to-be-seen:

I vow the now and seal it ...with a kiss

WOW = This is a masterpiece = what everyone is looking for - the answer to happiness - for the past comes back in a dream and hits you in the face - as for the future it is a constant worry as to what will be - so live the moment ; forget the rest.
