The Here & Now

The Here & Now

 

The present is now

It never leaves us and true

There is no respite

The present can gift us roses with thorns but it has to be lived. It can also give us a touch of heaven. All of it has to be lived regardless. Make the most of the good times and deal with the crap knowing that too will pass. That's where you took me Neville.

The present is never ending. There seems to be no respite! I'm afraid its going to stay forever, with onslaught after onslaught of miseries. How true dear sir! I see the present as gloomy and eternal.

[Neville]

I used to like presents too, back in the day when they were barely moments ..... Bless ya PJ :)

In the light of the recent global curse and its almost neverending fallout, I'm seeing the present in an all new light. Thanks for this on spot poem, dear sir.

Just re-read what I wrote 11 months ago. Wouldn't change a word, except to emphasise how important the present is. Live each and every minute to the full.

You have reminded me that there is NO tomorrow!

The word that intrigues me the most = the last word. In a way, it feels like you suggest that people seek respite in escaping into either the past or the present. I love it when a writer picks the perfect word that pops with a tons of side roads to be meandered (((STROLL))) Fondly, Margie

[Neville]

cheers Margie me luverly friend (JOGS) Neville

[Lorry]

Wise words sir. The trouble with it all is, once you're here, there's nowhere else to go.
I think I'll put on my rose-tinteds and pretend I'm somewhere else for a while. (Ah, when organic milk was known as... Milk. When curly wurlies were the size of ladders and wagon wheels were the size of your face.)
Nope. Still here 😀

[Neville]

would you believe I remember all those things too and truly :)

My pleasure...

You're right, Neville.
The present always move along side us. It never a time left behind and never a time meant to be. It is always now.
Only that it makes the past a past and makes the future a future.

[Neville]

thank you both kindly and truly Kay...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

no, it just becomes the past....but remains in our hearts....and sorrow takes a seat and stays for the entire life's show.

[Neville]

At times the present which is all we have deals us the right cards and we can be happy but tables can turn and your final line becomes a reality............. something to take away and think on today Nev..........

[Neville]

yes indeed..... thank you
