Right Now

Get lost in the moment,

Don't waste your precious time.

Don't worry about your future,

You're not yet past your prime.

The past is already gone,

And the dreams may be sweet

But time is running out,

Don't waste your time for sleep.

Think about right now,

This moment,

This heartbeat

And when it's gone

Don't miss it, 

Let it take it's last bow.

And move on to the future,

Because the future is right now.

Every step you take,

The present moves with you.

Every move you make,

The present makes too.

Memories for the past

May stick around,

And of your voice isn't loud enough,

You won't make a sound.

Don't hover in the past,

It's already gone 

Because it never lasts.

You're mistakes may haunt you for

This moment

This heartbeat

But then it's gone

Don't miss it.

Let it take it's last bow

And move on to the future

Because the future is right now.

And in the end

When it's all over,

The memories will last

But when the last breath comes,

You'll get the last laugh.

The haste...the haste.
I must gather my skirts and run for I want to catch up..
Catch up to myself for I have been sitting here daydreaming for too long and my life has run on ahead...without me!

[James Paulin]

Poems are like paintings as they are expressive and vary in every way. There is room for every sort and you have an imagination that will serve you well.
This poem could be simpler or rhyme more consistantly but it doesn't have to.
Keep trying to make yourself happy with your writing.

OH no.. gah, no sucking at all! This is fantastic! The flow is amazing and the message is timeless... never take life for granted and never forget to actually live it. So many people get hung up in their past and live life in sort of a loop. This is an upbeat reminder to take care NOT to do that.
"Think about right now,
This moment,
This heartbeat
And when it's gone
Don't miss it, "
