LIVE FOR NOW
Here I am caught
between the living and the dead
Walking in a realm I
have not visited yet
Oh my, how my
imagination can soar
Billowing white
clouds covering up the impending storm
My creative heart
suffers from writer's block
Blocking out memories
it hurts to humor
Awaking a new world
where hurting does not exist
Who says you can't
have heaven on earth
Who says my life is
not my own
I was given free will
to do whatever I see fit
This is me this is
how I grow
Take a few steps
forward
To secure what lies
ahead
Take a few steps
backwards
To make sure I did
not miss a step
You can only
speculate the future
Study history so you
do not repeat the past
Live for now
Because now is all
that is left

ReplyDeleteThanks Boss!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful picture of the now.....'take a few steps forward to secure what lies ahead....take a few steps backwards to make sure I did not miss a step'. This is the reality of the now FULL with the experience already lived and the open potential for the new.
