The Present
Now…
Is all we have,
Yesterday is gone
Tomorrow is yet to come.
Can…
You really separate the
Past and make some things undone?
In…
This current moment,
You and I stand alone.
Reminiscing of what was,
And thinking of some deeds
We would like resown.
For…
Is it not true, our mind
Plays tapes
Of the past, forgetting the
Present to replace
Those…
Days of trials and tribulations,
Or memories we wish to keep.
Leaving the now only to repeat.
By…
Seeing the gift of the present
Through eyes of clarity,
We gain an understanding
That this moment is a rarity.
Embrace…
What is right in front of you,
For in the morning dew,
This will disappear as well
And merge with the future too.
The…
Present is all we have right now,
An opportunity for righting wrongs
And bringing peace through our
Forever searching soul song.
As we gather those we love
Around the ring of the campfire’s draw.
The…
Stillness of the now we know
Holds many answers and the key
For each of us to find our way
Closer to the next day.
Not…
In fear or jealousy,
Hate or misty eyes won’t
Let us see.
Instead…
We can be surrounded
Through the day and night,
With the universal
Shining light.
The…
Dily toils,
For a new tomorrow.
Each word, thought, action
Taken
Leaves a mark not forsaken.
A…
Present moment is meant for you
A time to stop and savor,
What has brought you to this point
Many of destiny’s favors.
So…
As you go about your day,
Remember to be thankful.
The present gives you offerings
Of gratitude and an
Agreement that is mutual.
Eileen,
‘What has brought you to this point
Many of destiny’s favors.’
You’ve figuratively spun the cosmic symbolism around your musing. Magical words.

Yes….I do like the one you posted here. Kind of makes one ponder on the “reality” of this thought and seeing it as a favor….
