In the NowA Poem by J Schwenk Be in the present, for life will fly by in the blink of an eye. You see Be here Right here Every fiber of your being should be here Not there Be in the present Don't be over there Be in the now Baby Be here Every fiber of your being Every fiber of your soul Should be here Right here What's happening at this moment Be here What you want to do Dance Breathe Write Talk Smile Sleep Laugh Be aware of your presence Be grateful Be you Don't think about being over there Over there That's where the future is Here When you're walking Feel the pavement hitting your feet Feel the crisp breeze hitting your face Smell your takeaway coffee Look at the people around you Walking Talking Being in the world around you There Hasn't happened yet Here Is happening Right now Baby Be here Be grateful Be in the now Enjoy life For everything has a lot to offer Take life slowly Savor it Before it slips through your fingertips Finding someone like you Someone else Like you Be here Be happy Not there But here. © 2014 J Schwenk |
